Before I Forget

For his debut album as leader, British guitarist Justin Quinn has assembled a group of fine musicians and produced a deeply individual recording. Quinn is related to one of the greatest of UK jazz musicians, John McLaughlin, but rather than taking McLaughlin's incendiary approach to the instrument Quinn's intensity is more reserved, happening under the surface of his playing. This album was MOJO's Jazz Album Of The Month, their correspondent noting that Quinn is "a tremendous new talent". Reviews have also run in Jazz Review ("I'm already looking forward to the next one") and The Guardian ("a nice line in small group composition"). Other reviews have run in Metro, Echoes & Record Collector. Also featured on the album are performances from musicians such as Tom Arthurs, Oli Hayhurst and Martin France.
