4th May 2014: Tori Freestone with 4 Star review in The Guardian, The Jazz Breakfast & Scotsman

Tori Freestone released In the Chop House with us just in April, and the album has already proven a hit across the UK on her extensive tour and now is having a great showing in the press, check out some of the recent highlights.

“Dynamically canny set, which is sparingly hip-hop-driven, sometimes postboppishly twisting and sometimes Celtically folk-nuanced… Freestone has clearly listened widely, but her musicality and broad experiences have stirred all that input into an imposingly original sound.”
4 Stars, The Guardian review

“Her interpretation of Gershwin’s Not For Me shows her sensitivity to melody, a strain that is clear in her own compositions and in her improvisations which have a strong narrative line and highly aware sense of structure and harmony.” The Jazz Breakfast review

“Freestone’s boldness is amply rewarded. She brings a pleasing freshness and invention to the music.” The Scotsman review (no online preview)
