The marvellous new album from the Nick Weldon Sextet, is a jazz soundtrack for our time. The material - from Monk to Metheny, by way of Augustan poet, John Dryden, with Weldon’s skilful arrangements and original compositions, is strong and diverse. The improvising, from some of the UK’s finest and most inspiring players, is thrilling. Eleven shades of passion, explored by six superb musicians.
