SIMCOCK, WALKER, SWALLOW NUSSBAUM First reactions from the press:

GUARDIAN 4 STARS **** "Jazz supergroups are volatile concoctions, bespoke teams of virtuosi often just getting in each other's way. But the Anglo-US quartet built from scratch this week around the untried partnership of pianist Gwilym Simcock and Salford guitarist Mike Walker, with Americans Steve Swallow on bass and Adam Nussbaum on drums, fulfilled all its promise – and then some". read more

LEICESTER MERCURY

"A packed Embrace Arts Centre enjoyed a world-class performance by an international jazz group on its way to Ronnie Scott's and a European tour". read more

JAZZ BREAKFAST

"Let’s hope it becomes more than a one-tour stand. The band is going on to play around Europe but if you are within driving distance of either Leicester (Embrace Arts Centre tonight) or London (Ronnie Scott’s tomorrow) – so, anywhere on the mainland, in other words – I’d urge you to get along. It’s the real deal". read more

SIMCOCK, WALKER, SWALLOW NUSSBAUM - EUROPEAN TOUR STARTS 21ST MAY 2010

"One of the best-kept secrets on the British jazz circuit is the world-class talent of Salford guitarist Mike Walker, who tours in this dream-ticket Anglo-US quartet with piano virtuoso Gwilym Simcock and the ultra-hip rhythm partnership of bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Adam Nussbaum. Walker's surreal intelligence, extra-musical talents, a teaching career and a disinclination to leave the north-west may have kept him from stardom, but he has long sounded like a man in a league of his own. His album Madhouse And The Whole Thing There was a soaringly confident piece of idiosyncratic contemporary fusion, and the idiomatic breadth and one-touch improvisational reflexes of pianist Simcock should produce some fascinating conversations". The Guardian
