Dave Stapleton and Matthew Bourne
DismantlingtheWaterfall

All prices include VAT.

Guardian - John Fordham “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”.

Indpendent on Sunday - Phil Johnson “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.

Jazzwise Magazine - Daniel Spicer “…fine collaboration between two of the UK’s most exciting young pianists…restless imagination”.
