McCREADIE FERGUS The Shieling (Coloured Vinyl)

Popis:

Distinctive Scottish pianist and composer Fergus McCreadie presents The Shieling, an album that marks a nuanced and subtle yetpowerful shift for him and his trio. Following the huge acclaim and success of Cairn, Forest Floor (shortlisted for Mercury Prizeand winning Best Album at Scottish Music Wards) and Stream, Fergus McCreadie draws on fresh inspiration from the wild,elemental beauty of North Uist in the Scottish Outer Hebrides. Recorded in a remote cottage and produced by celebrated andfellow Mercury shortlisted artist, Laura Jurd (Dinosaur), The Sheiling reflects a deeper sense of oneness and primal rawness. Thetrio - recording in one room with McCreadie on an upright piano - finds new ground to their sound - lyrical, untamed and alive.Joined by trusted collaborators David Bowden (bass) and Stephen Henderson (drums), McCreadie holds on to that signature mixof Scottish folk spirit and modern jazz but lets it breathe in new ways. In just a few years, he’s become one of British jazz’s mostcompelling voices, praised for performances that feel raw, honest and full of heart. From the groundedness of Cairn to theearthiness of Forest Floor and the flowing lyricism of Stream, his music continues to speak to audiences far and wide and TheShieling feels like the next natural, powerful step.
