Tim Davies
1st Release: Wednesday 28 April 2021
2nd Release: 16th November 2022
In partnership with Jazz South
Tim Davies is composing a suite for a modular synthesizer and jazz quintet – consisting of drums, bass, keys, guitar and tenor saxophone – that explores the parallels between contemporary jazz and electronic music. “The Outer Woods” is a three-part suite for modular synthesiser and jazz quintet.
“Innovative and creative, a listen to this piece reveals something that is both ‘sit up and take notice unique while also softly soothing with a modern electronic sound working in perfect symbiosis with more traditional jazz soundscapes and grooves”
