NEON
|
NEON: Stan Sultzman - sax, Gwilym Simcock - piano, and Jim Hart - vibes. Forget hyperbole, the words genius and legendary slip seamlessly into the same breath as Neon. The imagination and sax playing of Sulzmann has been in demand for more than 40 years and he has played with many of the greats, including Chet Baker. In Neon he is flanked by two of Britain's leading, young jazz innovators. Simcock's piano playing has landed him just about every UK jazz award going and Hart is a vibraphonist extraordinaire. Quite simply unmissible. |
