Artwork from Unfolding In Tempo
by Lol Hardiman
London saxophonist Tom Harrison has maintained an impressive schedule as a sideman and
leader, working with artists such as
Jean Toussaint,
Cleveland Watkiss, Heather Small
and David Lyttle,
and recently playing at the London Jazz Festival's 'Saxophone Summit'
alongside Jean Toussaint and Pete King. His
debut album Unfolding In Tempo
features the music of Duke Ellington
and Billy Strayhorn and was recorded live at Pizza Express, London, and
The Everyman, Cheltenham, last February. The Cardiff born rising star's all-star cast features UK vocal icon
Cleveland Watkiss, pianist and Steinway artist Robert Mitchell, in-demand
young bassist Daniel Casimir and drummer David Lyttle, a regular
collaborator who was nominated for a MOBO Award 2015.
Following live dates and high praise from
Jazzwise
and All About Jazz, and radio
play on Jazz FM, the album has
been reviewed by BBC Music Magazine's
Garry Booth.
"Records like this don't come along too often...Leader Tom Harrison's confidently uninhibited wailing on alto reflects his
three years engrossed in and performing Ellingtonia. His tender solo take
on 'Warm Valley' brings closure to a stormy, no holds barred live set."
