2nd October 2020: Jeff Williams to release sixth Whirlwind album ‘Live at London Jazz Festival: Road Tales’ (featuring John O’Gallagher, Josh Arcoleo & Sam Lasserson) on November 20th – available to pre-order now on 12″ LP 180g Limited Edition Vinyl, CD & DL

We’re delighted to announce that prolific drummer Jeff Williams is to release his sixth album on Whirlwind – Live at London Jazz Festival: Road Tales on November 20th.

Road Tales release follows Jeff’s five previous releases – Bloom, Lifelike, Outlier, The Listener and Another Time.

This recording features an all-star cast of his longtime collaborators, with altoist John O’Gallagher and Josh Arcoleo on tenor making a ferocious twin-horn frontline and virtuoso bassist Sam Lasserson completing the rhythm section. With all the compelling immediacy of a live concert recording, ‘Road Tales’ documents how the shared experiences of being a band on the road for a decade or so has shaped a musical narrative, as each member tells the story of those experiences, and shows how they established their own identity within the compositions.

The recording was recorded live at Pizza Express Jazz Club at London Jazz Festival in 2018. The album is available to pre-order now on 12″ Lp 180g Limited Edition Vinyl, CD & DL over on our site. Pre-order today and support artists on #BandcampFriday.
