Description
Described by Chick Corea as a 'creative genius,' the UK's most lauded pianist demonstrates why he is so highly regarded.
Gwilym Simcock's debut album reflects some of the projects he has been involved in so far in his career. As well as being an extraordinary pianist Gwilym is a remarkable composer and this album demonstrates both of those abilities. He has worked closely with drummer Martin France and bassist Phil Donkin as a trio but has also performed regularly with his quintet featuring Stan Sulzmann on saxes and John Parricelli on guitar (here augmented to a sextet with percussionist Ben Bryant). His solo work has gone from strength to strength and the last track on this album features a piece recorded live in Germany this year at the Klavier-Festival Ruhr where he was the featured new artist chosen by Chick Corea. The extraordinary musicians on the album have created with Gwilym a beautiful musical narrative that enthrals from start to finish.
