The quartet are celebrating ‘Live At The Vortex’, an album of melodic original pieces composed by Mick, and recorded at The Vortex Jazz Club, London, in 2018. There may also be one or two more familiar pieces. Mick plays baritone, alto and soprano saxophones and is joined by the engaging, versatile trio of Dominic Ashworth on guitars, Tom Farmer on bass and Tristan Mailliot on drums.
“Consider this album as a compendium of delights: each player at ease and intent. The Vortex audience clearly loved it all, as did this reviewer. A racing certainty for my ‘Top Ten of 2020’ list.” Peter Vacher, Jazzwise, ****
