Album: Bourne/Davis/Kane, Lost Something (Edition)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.For free-jazz pianists, following Cecil Taylor and Keith Tippett must be like trying to paint Mont Saint-Victoire after Cézanne.
Matthew Bourne, in a trio with Dave Kane and Stephen Davis, sounds best when there's still an identifiable jazz context to his playing or when the tune itself carries weight, as in a version of "Round Midnight" – though Monk didn't do psychodrama, as Bourne does here. Oddly, pieces by Annette Peacock, Carla Bley and John Surman are rather thrown away, while originals such as Davis's "Melt" and "De Selby's Earth" have both point and swing.
Pick of the Album: 'Melt': a gently swinging anti-ballad
