''I sometimes hear a fiddle play or maybe it's a notion. I dream I see white horses dance upon that other ocean''

– Ralph McTell, 'From Clare to Here'

The event release of Sounding Point attempts the impossible and succeeds. Long time avant jazz fans will need no reminding that violinist Mark Feldman is one of the greatest. Solo violin is no small undertaking even for a player of his rare calibre. Performing mainly his own work plus pieces by Sylvie Courvoisier, his pianist wife and labelmate, and by Ornette Coleman, this latest collection was recorded in a Brooklyn studio last spring and is released by Intakt on Friday.

Coming out on 19 February is the brutal but compelling Seven, the latest from Cameron Graves. Yet another single 'Sons of Creation' from the album is streaming and contributing to the racket in the marlbank listening ashram earlier on in astonishing the resident doves. Pray, is it worth scaling the wall of sound to climb up on and into the cockpit for? Mmm, yes. Might you risk PTSD as a consequence? Mmm, unlikely. Raving along with Graves it's probably not the case that hawkish Colin Cook, however, is playing the geetar with his teeth. But I did wonder. SG
