  • Description

    'The Green Seagull' is a mesmerising jazz suite inspired by the life of the composer's uncle, a parish priest who invested decades building spiritual, cultural and political bridges. At the helm is composer and conductor Tommy Evans. As one of the most prolific and original young musicians in the UK, Evans is the founder of Submotion Orchestra and is also in Gentleman's Dub Club. But it is this suite (for which he was awarded the 2011 BASCA Award for Contemporary Jazz Composition) that is his most cherished project to date. The tremendous breadth of influences in the music - jazz, dubstep, Indian, classical - acts as a fitting vehicle to showcase some of the finest young jazz talent in the UK. The result is a vibrantly modern big band jazz sound of lush soundscapes and hypnotic grooves which create an epiphany of music that is accessible, unconventional and deeply moving. This hugely anticipated album is available as a double CD, the first CD featuring the main suite and the second CD containing remixes by some of the top names in the electronic and underground music scenes including Phaelah, ioi, Planas, Jack Sparrow, SYNKRO, Ruckspin, Eddie Ranking and LAXX. A live version of The Green Seagull (from Scarborough Jazz Festival) was broadcast over successive weeks on BBC Jazz Line-up in September. Toddla T played a remix from the album on his Radio One show.
