about
Theme & variations for improvisers, jazz ensemble & electronics.
---------- selected press quotes ----------
"Compilation II is a remarkable piece of work. Solos throughout are terrific, ensemble playing is strong, the writing is episodic but there's still a central flow and coherent development, production values are nothing short of unique. In short, we have a potential classic here.....Brilliant." Steve Lake THE WIRE
"An outstanding record that demands a place in any comprehensive collection.....some of the most vivid and creative improvisation/composition fusions in recent times.....wholly individual mixtures of realtime improvisation and writing that cheerfully filches from all post-bop and compositional areas, yet which depends as much on the colour and intensity of the individual improvisations as it does on Fell's witty and often bewilderingly complex structures." THE PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ ON CD, LP & CASSETTE
"Simon Fell is a leading composer of his generation, crossing boundaries and creating music of a passion and originality unusual in Britain." THE GUINNESS ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF POPULAR MUSIC
"It's hard to think of anybody in the UK among the jazz-related musicians of his generation.....who is working on this scale and with such audacious inventiveness." Chris Blackford THE WIRE
"The sharpest dialogue between composition and improvisation realised by any English composer." Ben Watson RESONANCE
