The urge to combine classical music and jazz never seems to go away: recently in UK jazz we’ve seen the Mercury-nominated Basquiat Strings and Vicky Fifield’s Devotion. Now, Manchester-based violinist Olivia Moore attempts fusing a string quartet with a jazz piano trio – with little success. The album’s 12-minute title track moves through different moods, each glaringly flagged up by the sort of heavy-handed emotional signifiers that litter mainstream movie soundtracks. Here’s the elegiac bit! Now you’re sad! A note of hope arises! Throughout, the jazz trio is woefully under-used, only really surfacing on a section that seems to aim for a DJ Shadow-ish ‘epic’ feel – but falls very short. Elsewhere, some of Moore’s other influences filter through with a little more conviction: flamenco on ‘Bulerias’ and a slightly Balkan-flavoured tango on ‘Tango Tripata’. But nothing can persuade me to forgive ‘Shall We Dance’, which sounds like a Jamiroquai tribute band tackling Jeff Wayne’s War Of The Worlds.
