10th August 2016: Subscribe to Jazzwise Magazine this month and receive a copy of Matt Ridley’s Mettã.

Subscribers to Jazzwise Magazine this month will receive a copy of Matt Ridleys critically acclaimed release Mettã (scroll down to hear a full length track from the album).

The follow up to his debut release on Whirlwind (Thymos, 2013), Matt Ridley’s latest album Mettã – a title and concept referencing themes of benevolence and goodwill – finds him progressing his shared creativity again with his quartet of pianist John Turville, drummer George Hart, and soprano saxophonist Jason Yarde, who appears here in a fuller, more centrally melodic role. Captured within a single day, this is a studio recording brimming with passion and spontaneity.

Here are some highlights for the latest reviews in for Mettã and for details of upcoming performances go  here
