Gwilym Simcock — Instrumation (2014) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Since his Mercury Award-nominated solo work "Good Days at Schloss Elmau" at the latest, pianist Gwilym Simcock has belonged to the spearhead of jazz in Great Britain. With "Instrumation", the Valais-born pianist presents himself not only as a piano virtuoso, but also as a creative creator of elegant jazz orchestra compositions. The leading British daily newspaper The Guardian praised the recording, which is divided into two suites, in the highest terms and awarded it 4 stars. The Financial Times also enthusiastically celebrated the "masterful expansion of his flourishing and rhythmic pianostyle". On "Instrumation" Simcock plays out his vein for romantic-classical art music. ACT
