a terrific band altogether, but, Alcyona, your playing is really something special and unique - I can hear echos of George Russell (what a fantastic pianist he was!), Tristano and others, but the whole is both utterly fresh and individual, and is fully within the centre of the jazz piano tradition (and devoid of flash or corn!). Great!
shame there's not more of your music here, especially 'now'. however, with hanslip and robson blowing hot and cold you can't go wrong!
