Whilst aware of his gravitas as an improviser, I hadn't been in the same room as him playing the saxophone until the first rehearsal of this music. His utterly courageous and no-holds-barred engagement with the present is something to behold. This album was recorded live at the Vortex Jazz Club in London. In an effort to capture the music at it's best, we performed the same set of music twice, the resultant recording being the second set (bar one short improvisation from the first). Paul's energy and dynamism was unwavering and I have no doubt that he had a third set in him also - a true 'tour-de-force'.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Dunmall: tenor \u0026amp; soprano saxophones\u003cbr\u003eLiam Noble: piano\u003cbr\u003eCaius Williams: double bass\u003cbr\u003eMiles Levin: drums\u003cbr\u003eLaura Jurd: trumpet\u003cbr\u003eChris Batchelor: trumpet\u003cbr\u003eAlex Paxton: trombone\u003cbr\u003eRaphael Clarkson: trombone\u003cbr\u003eOren Marshall: tuba\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Discus Music","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50448024699211,"sku":"2214109","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_590c70a8_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727085276"},{"product_id":"red-hot-ice","title":"Red Hot Ice","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Dunmall\u003c\/strong\u003e continues his run of very special releases on Discus Music.
