Reviews |
07/07/2005 Stuart Nicholson - OBSERVER MUSIC MONTHLY |
"Jazz supergroup whose passion proves inspirational. The contagious rhythmic energy of ‘Kirsten Sunday Morning’ makes you want to do heroic deeds like climb Everest or swim the Atlantic.... Not a dull moment from beginning to end." |
07/04/2005 John Fordham - THE GUARDIAN |
"Richards' arrangements are terrific, and the choice of material is just as good... A landmark achievement in a long career." |
01/04/2005 Chris Parker - JAZZ AT RONNIE SCOTTS |
"Immediately accessible, wide-ranging album... as infectiously enjoyable as it is carefully constructed and programmed... blues and post-bop jazz, tinged with funk, African and Latin influences... powerful, earthy, dramatic music... a judiciously balanced band in top form." |
01/04/2005 Tom Barlow - JAZZWISE |
Big ballsy nine-piece...mixing up giddy, rambunctious big-band style modern jazz with funk and Monk-inspired bop... Great Spirit seem to embody that brand of raw British big-group jazz pioneered back in the day by The Jazz Warriors. Worth checking, and don't miss them live." |
01/01/2005 Martin Longley - JAZZ REVIEW |
"A spectacular assemblage of hot favourites on the UK scene. Richards fills his charts with solo opportunities, shaping and framing each players' spell in the spotlight... [the] expressive fire rarely lets up. 'Epistrophy' receives an elaborate big band arrangement, with Tony Kofi getting rugged and Jason Yarde smearing and stretching on alto." |
