Iain Ballamy - Quercus - Jazz - CD

2013 collaboration between legendary British Folk singer June Tabor, Welsh Jazz pianist and composer Huw Warren, and English saxophonist Iain Ballamy. This is the first Quercus album but the trio, very much a collaborative band, has existed for several years, patiently developing it's unique idiomatic blend. Quercus means 'oak' in Latin and the roots of this particular tree dig deep into British Folk music, while leaves and branches reach upward to embrace Jazz-inspired lyrical improvising.
