''Foremost proponent of modern jazz on the hurdy-gurdy'' admittedly caught my eye in the description here and the tracks streaming so far from said esteemed hurdy-gurdy proponent pianist Joachim Mencel then thankfully caught my ear. It's a star band, with, joining Mencel, Steve Cardenas on guitar, Scott Colley, bass, and Rudy Royston, drums, the unusual tonal flavours work well together and the mix is not at all gimmicky. Origin are putting the record out on 18 September.
