31st October 2012: A windstorm of great press for Tom Gibbs’ Fear of Flying from JazzUK, London Jazz & The Scotsman
We released Tom Gibbs’ Fear of Flying (featuring Will Vinson on alto sax, Euan Burton on bass, and James Maddren on drums) worldwide on OCT 15 and the response has been great. Tom writes and performs from a deeply personal and honest place, and fans, press, and musicians are all appreciating this on his debut album. We’re delighted to report on three very positive reviews that have hit recently in the press and invite you to check them out.
“what really impresses is the commitment, coherence and sheer pep of the quartet as they address Gibbs’s intelligently varied programme” LONDON JAZZ
“As well as the pianist’s fluent improvisations, the disc provides a showcase for his attractive compositions, which balance a bright, approachable lyricism with more intricate harmonic and rhythmic depths, and provide plenty for the musicians to get their teeth into.” 4 Stars the Scotsman
