This is also the first recording with drummer Asaf Sirkis, who has replaced the late British jazz legend John Marshall. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEtheridge and Travis' unique arrangement has upped the tempo of the \"The Dew at Dawn\" (originally released on Ogun Records in 1975) pushing the Caribbean-infused groove to the fore. Beckett's joyful theme - first played on Etheridge's guitar and then picked up by Travis' mesmeric soprano saxophone - evokes the sun rising over the misty Hackney marshes and the hope of a better future. The track is underpinned by Baker's nimble bass guitar and Sirkis' scattering drums, with Etheridge's superb soloing honed over a stellar five-decade career. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Slightly All the Time\" from Soft Machine's seminal 1970 opus 'Third', gets a clever reworking for this 7\", with the sprawling epic-ness of Mike Ratledge's original composition, trimmed down to its essential parts, and Travis' outrageously good flute playing ramping up the '70s Brit jazz vibes. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Limited one-off pressing of 600 copies worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e* 7\" vinyl housed in a reverse-board picture sleeve.\u003cbr\u003e* Mastered by and lacquer cut by Caspar Sutton-Jones @ Gearbox Records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheo Travis: soprano saxophone, flute\u003cbr\u003eJohn Etheridge: guitar\u003cbr\u003eFred Thelonious Baker: bass guitar\u003cbr\u003eAsaf Sirkis: drums\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePress: \u003cbr\u003eMusic is My Sanctuary - will premiere \"(Slightly) Slightly All the Time\" in Jan 24\u003cbr\u003eJazzwise - review \u0026amp; news piece confirmed\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther reviews confirmed in Shindig!, Clash, The Arts Desk + Jazz Views \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAirplay confirmed on Jazz FM (Somethin' Else with Jez Nelson) + Totally \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWired Radio (Duvet Rustling Jazz \/ Alan McKinnon)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2024 Tour Dates: \u003cbr\u003e02 Feb - New Cross Inn, London\u003cbr\u003e07 Feb - Guildford Boileroom\u003cbr\u003e08 Feb - Signature Brew, London\u003cbr\u003e09 Feb - Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury\u003cbr\u003e11 Feb - Jazz Club @ Three Swans, Market Harborough\u003cbr\u003e15 Feb - Cheltenham DEYA Brewery\u003cbr\u003e16 Feb - Falmouth The Poly\u003cbr\u003e18 Feb - Old Woollen, Farsley\u003cbr\u003e19 Feb - Band on the Wall, Manchester\u003cbr\u003e20 Feb - Robin 2, Wolverhampton\u003cbr\u003e21 Feb - Brighton The Chalk\u003cbr\u003e22 Feb - Acapela Studio, Pentyrch, Cardiff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracks:\u003cbr\u003e1.
