Storm in a Teacup

[ Rattle Jazz / CD ]

Release Date: Monday 14 November 2011

'Storm in a Teacup' exudes one of the fundamental qualities of good jazz - joy. The playing is superb, the recording is excellent, and the music is honest and infectious.

Guitarist Al Campbell, drummer John Rae, and bassist Paul Dyne recorded 'Storm in a Teacup' after a series of gigs when Al was briefly in Wellington early in 2011. It was an impromptu session, which lent an attractive freshness and vitality to the performances.

Perhaps more than any other Jazz Series release so far, 'Storm in a Teacup' exudes one of the fundamental qualities of good jazz - joy. All ten tracks on the album are uninhibited examples of jazz at its most sincere and unpretentious. The playing is superb, the recording is excellent, and the music is honest and infectious.
