Tim Garland - Return To The Fire

20 years on and Tim has reunited the same band to release �Return to the Fire�, a 6 track album, on digital and limited edition vinyl, to celebrate not just his own musical journey and reunite friends, but to return and pay homage to a potent time in jazz history.. �I met Tim Garland through his original Enter The Fire - and I wanted some of that fire in my band - thus our long musical friendship began. This Return To The Fire shows Tim, his beautiful compositions and the band�s prowess completely. Thanks to Tim and his compadres for keeping the Music Fires burning brightly.� CHICK COREA1997. Tim Garland, a rising star in the UK jazz firmament, is in New York City, the metropolis of jazz. Staying at vibist Joe Locke�s apartment in Manhattan they are listening to the newly released Enter The Fire, when pianist Billy Childs arrives, and asks for a copy to give to a friend. That friend was the legendary Chick Corea who head-hunted Tim and this was the start of many years of international playing which continues today.Featuring long-term colleagues Gerard Presencer, Jason Rebello, Jeremy Stacey, Mick Hutton, Laurence Cottle, and more recent friends Tom Farmer, James Maddren and Ant Law �Return to the Fire� captures on wax some of the most celebrated and exciting musicians from the UK and some of Britain�s� finest exports on the vibrant international circuit. These recordings evoke the classic sound of the sax/trumpet jazz quintet of yesteryear, along with the freshness and spontaneity of music truly improvised, risk- taking and emotive.
