OUTLINES

Outlines is my new avant jazz project, playing my original compositions with plenty of space for improvisation. The music evolved out of a creative experiment: introducing visual art into my composition practice. Out of this, short musical sketches emerged that stood alone as artistic statements. These short statements are ‘Outlines’ – a springboard for this dynamic ensemble to go in new, exciting directions every time. I am thrilled to be joined by these amazing musicians: Nick Malcolm (trumpet), Tom Ward (clarinets), Rebecca Nash (piano), Olie Brice (double bass) and Andrew Lisle (drums).

The album was released on Whirlwind Recordings in June 2023 and has been included in ‘Best Jazz on Bandcamp, July 2023’ and ‘Best of Jazz UK 2023‘ Spotify playlist, with radio play on Jazz FM and BBC Radio 3.
