Tom Sochas - The Sorcerer (LP) [VINYL]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Building on the success of a solo EP released in early 2021, Franco-American jazz pianist Tom Sochas, previously known for his work with London staple Phoenician Blinds, releases his debut album 'The Sorcerer', which introduces Tom's new trio with Greek bassist Thodoris Ziarkas and British drummer Olly Sarkar.rr

The record is very much an ode to story-telling, to ancient myths and tales, which presents itself as a present-day reimagining of a classic character. The album follows a linear story-line through which Tom Sochas blends his love of hard hitting post-bop and his passion for western classical repertoire to create an atmosphere rich in risk and solace. His playing is confident and understated, ranging from Monk-ish lyricism such as in 'I Don't Care', to delicate melodies and counterpoint imbibed with classical vocabulary, as heard in 'Prologue'. rr

From the outset the trio sound is enhanced by the use of subtle analog electronics, colouring the palette with shadowy textures. Olly Sarkar's artful use of space, accompanied by Thodoris Ziarkas's avant-garde bass escapisms, make for a winning combination and add to the trio's originality. The album also features punctual interventions by long-time collaborators Julian Knapp on saxophone and Laurie Carpenter on trumpet.rr
