"but wind and water will return as sure as there's tomorrow when there's nothing left to burn"

"The old 'don't judge a book by its cover' warning is set into sharp focus on Shepherd Wheel.

Reviews

 

02/01/1995 Jazz on CD

This is a concept album about a 16th century, water-powered grinding wheel; the cover shows a rural labourer honing a knife on the wheel itself. Lazy preconceptions that this could well be a po-faced, finger-in-the-ear nightmare are blown away on the introductory "Jacob's Ladder", where Peter Whyman's lines evoke Stravinsky circa Three Pieces For Solo Clarinet." The Wire, Oct 1995 "Excellent debut album. A jazz composer of flair and originality."
