Ivo Neame

• High quality, 180 gram, 12" LP

The solo piano album has a long and noble tradition in jazz - it's a challenge for any pianist to rise to - Ivo Neame took time out from his demanding schedule as one of Europe's busiest and most acclaimed pianist/composers to tackle that challenge. Ivo's intense preparation shows itself paradoxically in the relaxed, focused spontaneity of the six performances, with the ambiance of the room brought in as a part of the creative process.

Live at Turner Sims is an unedited portrait of a musician at work, alive and in the moment, each take flawlessly rendered, with a sureness of touch, a limitless flow of melodic inspiration, and a use of space and silence alongside the wealth of ideas that demonstrates the creative confidence of a master.
