His cool, clear tone, modal melodicism and Eastern influences “eloquently blend the tranquil tone-poetry of Alice Coltrane and the jazz intensity of her husband, John” (The Guardian). His latest Gondwana Orchestra album was “unreservedly recommended” by All About Jazz, who hailed it as “one of the finest British jazz records of the modern era.” With harpist Rachael Gladwin, Taz Modi piano, Luke Flowers (Cinematic Orchestra) drums, and Jordan Smart (Mammal Hands) saxophone.
