Info for Together As One

„Together, As One“ is the third album as a leader from British award-winning trumpet player, composer and band-leader Laura Jurd and her debut with newly named band Dinosaur. Featuring Laura’s regular collaborators, friends and creative cohorts Elliot Galvin, Conor Chaplin and Corrie Dick, ‘Together, As One’ is a coherently powerful and bold album that not only confirms her promise as one of the most important young musicians to emerge from the UK jazz scene in recent years but is also a statement that will launch her music into the international jazz world stratosphere.

„Imagine the impressionistic electric-jazz moodiness and glistening keyboard textures of Miles Davis’s In A Silent Way seamlessly wrapped around Celtic folk melodies, Django Batesian idiom-swaps, and interwoven with American, Scottish and north African drumming – and you might have a feel for this superb set from Laura Jurd“. (Guardian)

„Dinosaur is a new British jazz “supergroup”. (AllAboutJazz)

„Surely rank as one of the best debut albums for years, a remarkable fusion of thoughtful compositions, skilful musicianship and visceral energy.“ (AllAboutJazz, UK)

“Rechristening her regular quintet Dinosaur gave fair notice of their thrilling power live, where they’re as likely to fly into souful Sly Stone or JB’s terrain. Their debut album, though, is a considered studio production, with a sense of space and shape…” (Jazzwise)

Laura Jurd
is one of the hottest instrumentalists in jazz at the moment and BBC New Generation Artist for 2015-2017. Her band Dinosaur is a group of extraordinary young musicians who have been playing together for six years and share improvisational skills, musical influences ranging from folk to minimalism, jazz to rock music, and a freshness and inspiration that will make you love music all over again. Tonight they perform music from their new album released with Edition Records, Together, As One.

Jurd embraces melody, harmony and groove as much as she provokes with blasts of dissonance and gutsy angularity. It’s the combination of sweet and grinding, soothing and fiery that makes for such compelling listening. (AllAboutJazz)
