Saturday morning listen:
Something you don't hear every day - a live solo piano take on David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars tune 'Soul Love' which is new from pianist Ivo Neame drawn from his September release Live at Turner Sims. Ivo says in his Bandcamp notes ''I really love the riff.''
Known for his work with Phronesis and Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset, Ivo originally from Kent, as a leader is a popular presence on the UK club and festival circuit. And this new recording, his first solo piano album, unveils a new deeply personal aspect of his musical personality. Album tracks also include a version of Bill Frisell's 'Strange Meeting' and 'Rag' plus a solo treatment of Ivo's own 'Phasing Song' - a piece that appeared on Ivo's fine 2021 album, Glimpses of Truth.
