Description

Two of a Mind is based on the freewheeling, wonderfully melodic interpretations of standard material recorded 50 years ago by Gerry Mulligan and Paul Desmond. Exploring afresh the recordings on Blues in Time and Two of a Mind, the band promises to evoke the spirit of these classic recordings while giving free reign to the personalities of the musicians.

Multi-instrumentalist Chris Biscoe has been featured on baritone sax with the big bands of Hermeto Pascoal, Tony Kinsey, Graham Collier and the New York Composers Orchestra, as well as in various line-ups of the Mike Westbrook Band and John Williams' Baritone Band.

American born altoist Allison Neale's beautifully crafted lines evoke the spirit of Paul Desmond and Art Pepper, with whom she has a particular affinity. She has performed with Adelaide Hall, Bud Shank and Scott Hamilton, as well as featuring in the John Dankworth Generations Band and the Back to Basie Orchestra.

Jeremy Brown is one of the most sought-after bass players on the UK scene. Jeremy's credits include Peter King, Phil Woods, Art Farmer, Johnny Griffin, Anita Wardell, Curtis Stigers and Kate Williams. Matt Fishwick brings his subtle and dynamic playing to bands with Steve Fishwick and Osian Roberts and has played in the UK and USA with Scott Hamilton, Harry Allen, Jim Mullen, Warren Vache, Cedar Walton, John Colliani, Anita O'Day and many others.

"The playing is immaculateIt all sounds bright, sharp and, well, modern." - Dave Gelly, The Observer
