John Key's Strange Fruit

This album realises a long-time dream for John Key to capture his music on album. Key not only performs, he composes.

So many jazz albums these days rely on old standards. Apart from Sonny Rollins', Pent Up House, these are Key's originals.

The variety of jazz sound on this album - from bebop to cool jazz to an acid-jazz style track - shows the versatility of Key and his experienced group and how difficult it is to pigeonhole them into one particular jazz mood.
