Track Listing

Appearances by

Dave Green, Julian Arguelles, Paul Clarvis

Henry Lowther's STILLWATERS was born of a long association and friendship, going back more than twenty years, between Henry and bassist Dave Green. They both felt that the time was right to play the music of their choice, together with some of the finest jazz musicians working in Britain today. As result STILLWATERS is a highly accomplished, tightly ensembled and creative band combining long experience with youthful exuberance and freshness. The music is varied with original compositions by Henry and other band members, ranging from gentle melodic music reflecting the bands name, through to dynamic free improvisation, including the occasional jazz standard to acknowledge the tradition. The result is an immediatly classic band sound. Still Waters was chosen by the BBC to represent the UK at the 2Oth Umbrian Jazz Festival in Perugia in 1993, where the music was rapturously received by an audience of over 2000.

I.D. is performed by Henry Lowther's Still Waters featuring Henry Lowther on trumpet, Julian Arguelles on saxes, Paul Clarvis on drums, Pete Saberton on piano and Dave Green on bass.
