Celebrating their signing to the prestigious German label ACT, the hugely successful Lighthouse are back with their original personnel after two years working on other projects. The newly invigorated trio punch deep into exciting groove-based tunes, inspired Celtic rhythms and an eclectic mix of Chick Corea, Bill Bruford, Yellowjackets, John Coltrane, and DJ Carl Cox. Grammy winner Tim Garland and Barclaycard Mercury nominated pianist Gwilym Simcock are two of the most outstanding composers of our time in both jazz and classical genres and are regarded as among the very best in the world on their respective instruments. With Asaf Sirkis playing a custom built percussion set of frame drums, bass Udu, Hang drum and more Lighthouse exude a very special energy and excitement in performance.
“Sure–footed virtuosity, a dazzling standard” - The Times
“This is the sort of music you need to sink into. Spacious, rhapsodic and packed with gorgeous textures. [Garland’s] playing is phenomenal but it’s his talent for creating something unique out of diverse musical idioms that makes him such an adventurous and impressive composer.” - The Observer
“The imagination of Tim Garland... ranges from across far more territory than most jazz players assume is rightfully theirs....Rhapsodic.” - The Guardian****
“...a jawdropping musical tourdeforce...The marriage of jazz and classical music has never sounded so harmonious.” - Record Collector
“Resplendent... stirringly bold” - Metro
