Oct 2004

Fresh, inspiring and blessed with amazing dexterity, pianist David Rees-Williams returns with 'Time Scape', the long-awaited follow up to 'Hidden Colours'. Released on his own DePaeaN label, Rees-Williams, Neil Francis (electric bass) and Phil Laslett (drums) continue their sophisticated modern jazz explorations of classical music of four centuries, from Henry Purcell to Peter Warlock.

"Jacques Loussier, who celebrates his 70th birthday at the Festival Hall this month, has competition in the grown-up crossover stakes. To classical devotees, in fact, David Rees-Williams's cultured reconstructions of Purcell, Ravel and Bach will seem even more satisfying. Jazzers may sometimes find the soloing a little lacking in colour, but there is no denying the ingenuity of the arrangements: Purcell's Ground in E minor and a Buxtehude gigue, not to mention Elgar's Chanson de Matin, turn out to be fertile material for the pianist and his partners, the electric bassist Neil Francis and the drummer Phil Laslett. Provocative fare for the general listener and hard-pressed music teacher alike, this is a set that yields its secrets at its own discreet pace." - The Sunday Times ****
