Description
The second meeting between leading pianist Matthew Bourne and the free jazz trio Shiver, recorded at the same session. Volume 2 is a further set of exciting and highly original improvisations hovering between improvised freedom and progressive electronic rock music. Each member of the band spends time in the foreground and background without ever dominating. The group is what's important here, everyone improvising without explicitly soloing. Ideas come, are explored, then fade before new ideas emerge with confidence and patience.
Volume 1 from the group received these reviews

"This is invigorating music for the here and now."- Marlbank
"Excellent." - Darren Bergstein, Downtown Music Gallery
"Shiver and Bourne skilfully mould and sculpt their sound to create music that can be simultaneously mysterious, beautiful and frightening" - Chris Baber, Jazz Views
