What else is coming up on the British scene over the next few months? Well, firstly and worth knowing about at this stage, there's a bluesy hard bop flavoured almost classic Blue Note knowingness to this latest from tenor-soprano saxist Matt Anderson in a recording from the Heart venue in Leeds made last spring. Mature and spirited, gathered around the core sax lead are pianist Alberto Palau, who contributes one of the tunes 'Northern Journey,' bassist Will Harris and drummer Jay Davis. It's the same line-up as The Town and the City released in 2022 with two of the tunes from that album returning here. Anderson tunes include the West African influenced opener 'The Conversation', 'Green Shoots,' dedicated to Anderson’s young son Robert, and 'Mr. Weird' - a tribute to Wayne Shorter. Out on 1 March
