	Neil Cowley Trio: Displaced (CD: HideInside) Neil Cowley, founder of the now defunkt but stunning downtempo/electronia outfit Fragile States and also ex-member of Zero 7 & Brand New Heavies heads off into a whole new, melodic, nu-jazz direction with the release of his latest album. "Displaced" is an outstanding album of original material that presents Cowley as a thoroughly modern player with an impeccable touch. Working with Richard Sadler on bass and Evan Jenkins on drums he has created a hard swinging trio with tremendous flair that can create beautiful and forceful music by turns. It's already been described as Jazz wise as "The hottest album to reach Jazzwise this year" if you're a fan of EST and want their momentum and ideas moulded and taken to a new level by a UK band, then this is it, wrapping stabbing, hyper-confident vamps, a case, if ever there was one, for placing an advanced order at your local record shop today." Blues and Soul and Record Collector pieces are also now confirmed, more to come. (Proper Music) Price: £12.99


Neil Cowley Trio: Loud...Louder...Stop (CD: Cake) “Post-jazz”, “punk-jazz”, “call-it-what-you-like-jazz”, one thing's for sure, today's generation of mavericks are informed by jazz, but channel the energy of rock and the surging dynamics of dance music to create a new sound, and stretch the envelope further. At the vanguard of this new scene, is The Neil Cowley Trio, whose 2006 debut Displaced was released to huge critical acclaim from across the musical spectrum. Loud.. Louder…Stop! is the trio's follow up album, and features Cowley's long-time collaborators Richard Sadler on bass and Evan Jenkins on drums. As the title suggests it is marked with energy, adrenalin and wit; an album of massive dynamic range and contrasts. Yet Cowley wears the “post jazz” label lightly. Neil expresses a wide gamut of emotions through his music, so there is often a sensitivity and romanticism to his compositions. (Candid Records) Price: £13.99

Neil Cowley Trio: The Face Of Mount Molehill (CD: Naim) The Face of Mount Molehill is the magnificent new album from the Neil Cowley Trio. Following on from the trio's critically-acclaimed 2010 release, Radio Silence, this new recording looks set to launch the music of Neil Cowley yet further into the listening public's consciousness. Nourishing his fondness for grand, commanding sounds, Cowley has begun a love affair with orchestration. Having spent the past year writing and arranging specifically for his trio and strings, he records, for the first time ever, with a string ensemble. The music is expansive, dynamic and deeply engaging. With the addition of soundscape textures from guitarist Leo Abrahams, (renowned for his collaborative work with Brian Eno) the Face of Mount Molehill represents a substantial shift in direction. Comprising 12 original tracks, the album takes the listener on an exciting musical journey from pomp and splendour to poignant, lyrical episodes; from sprightly and whimsical to powerful, rhythmic melodies.

It is their bravest, most daring album to date, spotlighting the ever- increasing brilliance of Cowley as a composer. With long time band mates, Evan Jenkins on drums and Rex Horan on bass, they jump headlong into new territory to present what they describe as "our concert hall record" for an altogether deeper listening journey.
