COACH TRIP SPECIAL
Mike Chillingworth Quartet featuring Ivo Neame, Tom Farmer and Jon Scott
Quartet album and tour dates coming soon
Featuring Ivo Neame, Tom Farmer and Jon Scott
While trapped for several days on a bus with fifty children Mike decided to escape his reality the only way he knew how – by immersing himself in a mathematically torturous rhythmic prison of his own design. Over the following months he attempted to make sense of the relentless polyrhythmic ear-worms which had by now burrowed deep in to his grey matter. An accord was reached, call it Stockholm syndrome if you like, so get ready as he prepares to present the fruits of his tortured psyche, with the help of some of his favourite musicians/inmates

"Really special ... Very complicated but full of wit and melody too. Clever Sod." Liam Noble
“Chillingworth is emblematic of this generation of jazz musician: a sculptor and architect with a keen sense of form, flow, colour and texture - he is surrounded by a community of generous, like-minded creative musicians all armed with ridiculous facility and a contagious sense of humour. The resulting music is exactly as great as it should be”

“Here is an album which rasps and sizzles so hard and so densely that it’s hard to ignore.”
