john greenwood Tim is definitely a master at his craft. This album is excellent in every way. So many subtle nuances to his play that its hard to believe he is this good at so many things. This definitely belongs in any jazz aficionados library. Favorite track: The Perth Flight.

about

GUARDIAN RECOMMENDS:

'it feels like the culmination of a life's work'. GUARDIAN ***** (FIVE STARS)

For years now, Tim Garland’s playing and composition have less reflected ‘influences’ than styles he has entirely mastered - everything from Celtic music to Yellowjackets fusion, from free improvisation to classical performance, from ECM ‘third stream’ to left-field electroacoustics. As a composer, he uses his native eclecticism and phenomenal technique to make telling and often surprising connections; as a bandleader, he creates spaces in which other musicians will surprise themselves. Songs to the North Sky unites these two strands of his career in one remarkable project. After two years in the making between much international touring and time away from the UK, Garland celebrates ten years of “Lighthouse Music” and a deserved place once again as band leader.

Life To Everything
by Phronesis

Modern contrabass-piano jazz trio. This is a live album, but it's pretty easy to forget that in between rounds of applause, as the recording quality is quite high. Deidre House

The Behemoth
by Phronesis

The trio get it together with big band goodness and show how well it _just works_, like it was meant to have always been that way. "Untitled#1" is outstanding. "Herne Hill", the muted trumpet through to the finale - wonderful. The rest - well - enjoy it yourself! :) Peter Jones

Bullhorn

I like trumpet music. To my astonishment bullhorn music can be just as convincing. Especially if presented with Verneri's expertise. The music easily moves between delicate and strong statements. freejazzy
