Reviews

01/01/2012 The Penguin Guide To Jazz On CD

'Jenkins is uniquly concerned with the packaging of music, not just in the cardboard-and-laminate sense but in terms of its perceived contours and limits.

A visionary figure whose embrace of jazz, rock and other musics is intensely personal and creative.

As always, genres and the whole idea of 'genre' are turned upside down.

He is, along with the Princess Royal and Walthamstow dog stadium, one of our national treasures...'

21/08/2011  'Jazz Line Up' BBC R3

'With his unique signature brittle guitar sound, his music and concept is the very definition of alternative'

Julian Joseph

'Tremendously exciting, sometimes unashamedly bracing, Jenkins takes old clichés and refashions them with wild wit and considerable charisma. He celebrates the poetry of the everyday in a language that completely lacks pretence or affectation'.

Daniel Paton
