Jazz
Piano duo of Dave Stapleton and Matthew Bourne features seventeen episodic tracks - some clipped fragments, others stunning miniatures - all linked by a seventeen line poem by Julie Tippetts. Each line provides a title, while together Julie's words have all the elegant simplicity of a Japanese Haiku with lines where syllables would otherwise be. For this is music of combining talents and visions. Simple and stately like the poem that accompanies it, as much the result of European Art Music as of Jazz, as inspired by Paul Bley and Keith Jarrett as by Shostakovich, Ravel and Bach.
Wales-based pianist Dave Stapleton has produced one of the success stories of UK jazz over the past year, with a hard-hitting postbop band fizzing with intriguing contrasts between early-jazz elements and the free-playing avant garde. Stapleton’s skills get the chance to stretch in this collection of short piano conversations with the cross-genre improviser/composer Matthew Bourne. The music spans minimalist tone-journeys and bursts of dense, jazzy improvising, with dreamy reflections over fast ostinatos, barked low-end percussive drama, and sighing sounds against improv-skitters and rhapsodic melody in between... the music often has an unexpectedly delicate charm, whether from a subtle melody being teased out of chord movements, or the sparing use of string-strumming against hypnotic drum patterns on the woodwork. The imperious Of Ionized Air heaves with jazzy figures, and some pieces have a lyrical lilt reminiscent of Keith Jarrett. The recording is careful to protect the nuances on which these two innovators depend.
---Guardian - John Fordham
This impressive experimental duo set by tyro pianists Dave Stapleton and Matthew Bourne consists of 17 shortish, continually diverting pieces titled after lines of a 17-line poem by Julie Tippetts.
---Indpendent on Sunday - Phil Johnson
...fine collaboration between two of the UK’s most exciting young pianists... restless imagination.
