  • Description

    In spite of his preference for piano-less format, saxophonist Stephen Riley found the ideal pianist for him in Peter Zak, with whom he recorded his previous album 'Lover'. Here on his 11th release Riley is backed by the same team, including Zak, to interpret an amazing collection of classic but rarely heard jazz titles.

    Since his 2005 debut album 'Inside Out' Riley has kept momentum to become and remain a "distinctly unique jazz voice" (leading Chicago journalist Neil Tesser). On 'Baubles, Bangles and Beads' he is also joined by bassist Neal Caine and drummer Jason Marsalis, a member of the famous Marsalis family.

    "Riley's unconventional use of ultra-hard reed to essay a satin soft sound - a common sense contradiction - sets him apart from every other under-40 player I can think of. This date brings his track record as a leader to seven for seven and, for reasons I'm still discovering and savouring, it comes highly recommended." - Derek Taylor, Dusted Magazine (on 'Lover')

    Personnel: Stephen Riley (tenor saxophone), Peter Zak (piano), Neal Caine (bass), Jason Marsalis (drums)
