Iain Matthews & Egbert Derix - In The Now

Iain Matthews of Fairport Convention, Southern Comfort and Plainsong fame, returns, after a long absence, with a stunning collection of new songs and stunning jazz arrangements.On paper the pairing of Iain Maatthews and Edbert Derix is a strange one. Egbert Derix is an established jazz composer, from the Netherlands and Iain Matthew's roots, have taken hold in contemporary singer/songwriter circles. However, if we break down these borders, look deeper and think in terms of quality, rather than genres, it's a musical marriage made in heaven.Their second collaborative album focuses around some remarkable new songs. Matthews draws deep upon his recollections of London in the swinging 'sixties � 'When The Floyd Were On The Prow'l and some powerful reflections upon life now � 'Pebbles In The Road' and 'Joy Mining'. Derix has an unerring sense of the perfect melody and chords. A musical marriage made in heaven indeedAlso available FLED3083 'JOY MINING'
