Stepping Back, Jumping In

by Laura Jurd

supported by

martin corey I am the Spring. You are the Earth. This is the reason I bought the album. I can't say it's an original concept or anything but there's a huge joy in the sonority of the different instruments deployed. It's immersive, big, harmonic.

smithyhouse1 Originality meets a really distinctive take on the 'jazz' thing. Head & Heart in perfect union - a delight. Favorite track: Jump Cut Shuffle (Laura Jurd).

beauchamp_paul I saw Laura Jurd at RWCMD and was deeply impressed with the evenings performance with Dinosaur. Favorite track: Jumping In (Laura Jurd).

September 2018. It's July 2020 now. I'm feeling that's too long, y'know..? This stuff's addictive. You just have to get more of it. The composition and performance on show are in a class of their own. But I say that every time. This is jazz like nothing else. Peter Jones
