Michael Garrick - The New Quartet

Legendary pianist/composer Michael Garrick's new quartet in 2001 featured saxophonist Martin Hathaway bassist Paul Moylan and drummer Alan Jackson. They perform a mix of Garrick originals, including the classic Black Marigolds, plus compositions by Benny Golson, Joe Harriott, Jaco Pastorious and others.

A perfect showcase. Immediately identifiable, inexhaustibly fecund piano, continually surprising. Hathaway: telling passion-filled solos. Rhythm section: simply faultless. - Chris Parker, The Tablet

If there were any justice, this recording would top the bestsellers. - Chris Lee, Manchester Evening News
