Head First Music CD

Pianist and educator John Turville has established himself as a mainstay of the UK and European contemporary jazz scenes in his varied roles as sideman, co-leader and trio/quartet leader. So its testament to his considerable reputation that this debut quintet release, Head First, should include the estimable names of saxophonist Julian Arguelles, double bassist Dave Whitford, drummer James Maddren; and, perhaps a new name to some, versatile trumpeter Robbie Robson.

Inspired greatly by the music of mentor John Taylor, as well as Kenny Wheeler, Turville was one of many artists who came together for the Jazz Piano Summit concert of 2015 dedicated to Taylors immeasurable musical legacy. There, Turville presented his own homage, A Perfect Foil, igniting a desire to realize originals and interpretations for an expanded line-up.
