Вечеринка: Matt Anderson Wild Flower Sextet

"This is sophisticated stuff, with a proper handle on Shorter's post-bop genius . . . . Everyone plays superbly and the whole set is wholly recommended." ***** - Mark Gilbert, Jazz Journal

Wild Flower Sextet, led by saxophonist Matt Anderson, plays original music inspired by the work of U.S. jazz legend Wayne Shorter, as well as new arrangements of his compositions. Wayne Shorter is a legendary figure across the whole spectrum of jazz, from Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and his own seminal albums on Blue Note Records, through to Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet and Weather Report to his new Quartet.

The sextet draws on an all-star line-up of UK jazz musicians. Award winning Laura Jurd returns to us. We have the superb pianism of Jamil Sheriff. Sam Vicary and Sam Gardner are hugely in demand.

The band released their debut album in 2015 to widespread critical acclaim and airplay on BBC Radio 3 alongside a nationwide tour, Selwyn Harris of Jazzwise writes: "Their own unique stamp on Shorter's very personal repertoire… of a quality that resonates with its inspirational source… Enjoyably un-pretentious."
