John Hicks

ANALOGUE 180 GRAM VINYL

AUDIOPHILE RE-MASTERED

John Hicks's amazing jazz trio album 'Hells Bells’ showcases his personal style which harmoniously blended a melodious romanticism with buoyant, inventive, dramatic flair incorporating elements of swing, bop and avant-garde. Part of the strength of the record is bassist Clint Houston who's completely sublime throughout, and has a way of shaping his notes with this depth that seems to set Hicks free to fly across the keys of the piano on these very long original tunes which would test the mettle of any pianist. Hicks and his cohorts are undaunted, and approach the compositions filled with fascination and motivation..
