Sometimes past gigs are erased from the memory bank even when they were enjoyable. Others never leave and live in the present such as a piano-guitar duo gig held in an east London Japanese restaurant music venue six years ago when within the benevolent womb of the Brilliant Corners sound Kristian Borring on his bespoke Victor Baker-designed guitar, and Bruno Heinen perched at a simple upright piano, were playing material largely drawn from their beautiful Bill Evans themed album of the time Postcard to Bill Evans.

On Out of Nowhere Borring, start with Johnny Smith a bit on Johnny Smith Plus the Trio (Roost, 1960) when thinking of where the Dane needs to build from in terms of the Johnny Green title track although more of a Jim Hall head, is back this autumn with an excellent new Cool It Records album to be released on 5 October. A retro quartet affair, with the London-based player are: bassist Mick Coady; pianist Rick Simpson, heard recently tearing it up with Leo Richardson playing the Bud Powell role leaning into Jazz at Massey Hall material at the Hampstead Jazz Club to be broadcast on Jazz FM on Sunday night; and superb Kairos 4tet drummer Jon Scott.

Out of Nowhere tracks, a 2019 recorded studio affair, include originals by Borring, a radiant version of Charlie Parker's 'Bloomdido' and the standard and title track 'Out of Nowhere' itself. Full track list: 'Five To Six,' 'Epsilon Eridani,' 'Three Rivers,' 'Palace Fever,' 'Out Of Nowhere,' 'What You See Is All There Is,' 'Hipster' and 'Bloomdido'.
