John Turville has put together a quintet that spans generations for this lively, self-assured release, with saxophonist Julian Arguelles, a mainstay of British jazz for over 30 years, joining younger musicians like drummer James Maddren and Robbie Robson on trumpet. Dave Whitford is on bass.

Turville sits at the centre of the record. The music is varied, reflecting Turville’s eclectic influences. The eleven tracks comprise three latin numbers, some meditative piano and some energetic ensemble playing, all infused with Turville’s sensitive piano playing.

He admits being inspired by John Taylor, who played on a couple of Arguelles’ recordings and to whom the CD is dedicated. Taylor’s influence is perhaps most evident on Ennerdale, on which Robson seems to evoke Taylor’s long time collaborator, Kenny Wheeler, too.
