They’ll also be embarking on a 7 date tour over February and the beginning of March, supported by Jazz Services’ Touring Support scheme. I’ve been mixing and producing the album with the guys and I can tell you that it sounds great… Check the Efpi site from next Monday (14th) for an exclusive preview track!

Beats & Pieces is no polite youth jazz orchestra and this EP is an invigorating and often surprising listen… packed as it is with youthful exuberance, fiery playing and a high degree of technical skill.

You can read the full review here, and whilst you’re there be sure to check out the rest of the site; its a great resource for the latest CD and live reviews, as well as listings for gigs across the country. Ian also checked out the HAQ EP – read that review in full here.
