Candy Time

CandyTime is the first album by this modern British jazz quartet. It presents an unusual collection of modern jazz originals along side new and surprising arrangements of rarities by Miles Davis, Coltrane and Monk. They also perform little known but beautiful jazz standards,a tribute to the piano blues of Jimmy Yancy, a ragtime bass guitar feature and a bizarre treatment of two Irish jigs. Originally released in 2001 this CD has now been re-released through the AR Records label.
