Press Quotes:
“The talented young altoist Pipe has the kind of self-assured confidence of an emerging star, but the good sense to simply play how he wants to play. While the harmonies are angular and the rhythms fractured, Pipe’s flawless technique and witty ideas make him one to watch.” Jazzwise Magazine
“Seb is pushing the boundaries and experimenting with some very innovative concepts…it is individuals like him who move the art form forward.”
Jean Toussaint
“Yet more evidence, were it needed, of the extraordinary strength in depth of the current UK jazz scene.” Chris Parker (Vortex Jazz Club)
"It's a group we'll likely be hearing from in 2008."
John Fordham (The Guardian Newspaper)
"distinctive, highly original quartet music, addressed with musicianly verve and commitment by the agile Pipe and his energetically responsive band...a great calling card for a fine, vigorously interactive unit."
Chris Parker (The Vortex Jazz Club)
"I'm impressed..this is good stuff...it is deep"
BBC Radio 3 Jazz Line-up [01/12/07] Claire Martin and Jack Massarik
