Basho Records is delighted to announce the long-awaited debut album from UK piano star Gwilym Simcock! This stunning album demonstrates Gwilym's remarkable strengths as composer, his extraordinary abilities on the piano and showcases the two main ensembles he has developed with some of the UK's finest musicians. Produced by Jason Yarde (twice Mercury nominated), and featuring the great saxophonist Stan Sulzmann, leading guitarist John Parricelli, and the outstanding rhythm section of bassist Phil Donkin, drummer Martin France, percussionist Ben Bryant, Perception will be launched at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on 16th November with Gwilym's sextet playing support to jazz legend Charlie Haden on the opening night of the 2007 London Jazz Festival. A UK Tour follows.
This young musician has already gathered an impressive array of awards. At just 25 Gwilym was chosen as the first ever Jazz Musician to be part of BBC Radio 3's New Generation Artists Scheme, a position he holds for two years, and was voted Jazz Musician of the Year at the 2007 Parliamentary Jazz Awards. Gwilym's dazzling piano playing has thrilled audiences throughout the world and his talents as a composer are increasingly in demand. In the past fifteen months he has composed for, and toured with, The Scottish Ensemble, written and recorded a piano concerto for the NDR Big Band in Germany, composed a 45 minute suite for his own big band (commissioned by Lichfield Festival), composed and performed a suite of songs for Norma Winstone (commissioned by Deal Festival) and is currently working on a major commission for The Britten Sinfonia featuring Gil Goldstein which will be premiered at the 2007 London Jazz Festival.
As Mark Anthony Turnage says in the album notes: "This album has all the ingredients that signify the start of what has already promised to be a dazzling career".
