Building on his relationship with six-string bassist Kevin Glasgow as a foundation, he chose multi-genre drummer Seb Rochford, equally at home playing with the avante- jazz of Polar Bear as he is with pop sensation Adele, and rounded the team off with front-rank composer, arranger, pianist and organist Kit Downes. All players whose approach could simultaneously encompass both simplicity and deep complexity, and match the freedom to improvise with a respect for the concision and directness of the song. David took them into the studio and the band instantly gelled, diving into a mammoth session that yielded enough material for two full albums. Volume 1 - Purple \/ Black is the frst offering - a coherent suite of song- form tunes whose direct, uncluttered melodicism conceals hidden depths that reveal themselves anew at each listen.David \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreston: guitar\u003cbr\u003eKit Downes: piano\u003cbr\u003eKevin Glasgow: bass\u003cbr\u003eSebastian Rochford: drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: O.
