"Another ambitious step for the trumpeter Andre Canniere and a very classy sextet, including pianist Ivo Neame, excellent saxophonist Tori Freestone and resourceful singer Brigitte Beraha… Canniere’s range-spanning trumpet and bright runs, and Freestone’s sensitivity to spacing and dramatic narrative accompany Beraha’s impassive eloquence with the lyrics… confirms his jazz-composing power and constructive writing for improvisers. The band is terrific.”

The Guardian ★★★★

“The Darkening Blue is Canniere’s most ambitious, wide-ranging and personal album to date.”

Jazzwise ★★★★

"This is sophisticated yet accessible music, immaculately performed by a crack band of highly compatible musicians.”

Jazz Views

A reminder of original contemporary jazz’s astounding ability, without warning, to coax wide-ranging, often tear-welling emotions from deep within.”
