Cardiff-based pianist and composer Dave Jones has range. He's toured and recorded internationally, from France to India, and his tunes have featured on TV shows as diverse as Location, Location, Location in the UK and The Big Bang Theory in the US. His music has gone out to a wide demographic then. On this, his studio quartet follow-up to Journeys (2010) and Resonance (2012), Jones sits at his Fazioli grand piano and leads a fine band of collaborators through six original compositions that, genre-wise, largely fulfil the promise of their titles: ‘Blues’, ‘Afro’, ‘Funky’, ‘Latin’. The theme writing is, as you'd expect from a successful film and TV composer, memorable, and the playing has a muscular, rolling intensity that puts me in mind of McCoy Tyner. The spontaneity of the improvisation has a live and thoroughly contemporary feel, with Ben Waghorn's tenor and flute work offering a racy, rich fluidity, while Ashley John Long on bass and Lloyd Haines on drums provide taut, inventive rhythmic accompaniment, occasionally augmented by the welcome addition of Long's skittering contributions on vibes.
