Our Take

MARK HANSLIP & ANDREW CHEETHAM – "String And Grid"

Straight outta Manchester comes the dynamic duo of Mark Hanslip and Andrew Cheetham, ready to set the jazz world on fire with their latest album "String And Grid." This record is a wild ride from start to finish, with Hanslip's saxophone wailing like a banshee and Cheetham's drums thundering like a herd of stampeding wildebeests.

From the moment the needle drops on the opening track, you know you're in for a treat. The duo's chemistry is undeniable, with Hanslip's melodic lines dancing effortlessly over Cheetham's frenetic rhythms. It's like they're speaking their own secret language, one that only the true jazz aficionados can understand.

The compositions on "String And Grid" are at once complex and accessible, drawing you in with their intricate melodies before launching into full-throttle improvisational fireworks. Hanslip's saxophone playing is a revelation, blending influences from the avant-garde to the traditional with jaw-dropping virtuosity. Cheetham's drumming is equally awe-inspiring, providing the perfect backdrop for his partner's musical acrobatics.

In a music world filled with cookie-cutter acts and formulaic songs, Mark Hanslip and Andrew Cheetham are a breath of fresh air. "String And Grid" is a testament to their talent and creativity, and a must-listen for anyone who craves music that pushes the boundaries and challenges the status quo.
