AuB Album Release!
The AuB album is now available to buy and stream! ! Can’t believe it’s come round this quickly. Huge thanks to Alex Hitchcock, James Maddren, and Ferg Ireland for the incredible playing on this record! Also a massive thanks to Alex Killpartrick for the invaluable engineering/mixing and Nate Wood for the mastering! You can listen to the album now on all streaming services or purchase a copy via the link below. I'd also like to thanks Edition Records and Dave Stapleton for the continued support.
Myself and Alex recently took part in a a fun interview about the composition/recording process for AuB with the National Youth Jazz Collective founder Issie Barratt which you can watch below.

I wrote this piece to be performed by the National Youth Jazz Orchestra at Ronnie Scott's back in January 2020. It was very much inspired by the writing of Vince Mendoza and is about my time on tour with Alberto Palau, Jonny Mansfield, Will Sach and Marc Michel.
