The meeting of Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stańko – a seminal figure in European jazz since the 1960s – and the cutting-edge New York trio of stellar pianist David Virelles, bassist Reuben Rogers and drummer Gerald Cleaver, produces music that combines darkly atmospheric soundscapes and surging bursts of rhythm, re-visiting London following the release of a brand new ECM recording, December Avenue.

Saxophonist Duncan Eagles pilots his ever-evolving band Partikel through its most successful year so far, with extensive touring and a fourth and most ambitious album to date, playing ‘brave and imaginative compositions enhanced by bravura performance’ (All About Jazz).
