25th January 2017: “An absorbing album.” Two great reviews for Andre Canniere’s ‘The Darkening Blue’ from London Jazz and Sandy Brown Jazz.

Two great reviews in for London-based trumpeter Andre Canniere’s third Whirlwind release The Darkening Blue featuring:

Tori Freestone – sax, Ivo Neame – piano, Michael Janisch – double and electric bass, Ted Poor – drums and guest vocalist Brigitte Beraha.

“The spirit of experimentation at work here cannot be denied nor the skill with which the disparate elements of text, music, arrangement and performance have been brought together… An absorbing album.”
Sandy Brown Jazz (full review)

“A reminder of original contemporary jazz’s astounding ability, without warning, to coax wide-ranging, often tear-welling emotions from deep within.”
