"Beck Hunters are a trio of Mick Beck (tenor sax, bassoon, whistles), Anton Hunter (guitar) and Johnny Hunter (drums). Together with Martin Archer, Beck was one of the founders in 1994 of Discus Music. He is a leading force of the Sheffield jazz and improvisation scene since the early 80s. He also leads his own band and was involved in numerous other bands and projects over the years. Johnny Hunter is a drummer and composer who has a background of both the avant-garde and the more mainstream jazz. Anton Hunter is a composer and improviser living in Manchester where he leads his 11-piece Article XI band as well as his own trio. So these players represent a lot of experience. In 2014 this trio debuted on this label with 'The Hunt is on', and after four years 'Has it been Found' is the follow-up. They make a real tight trio as this recording proves. They practice some very communicative and intense intertwined playing, that has all three players taking equally part in their extended improvisations. Especially the drummer operates in a very playful manner. They keep their focus in the quiet but also in the louder sections. They have no lack of ideas and their gestures are throughout to the point. Not a dull moment here. Great work!" - Dorf Mulder, VITAL WEEKLY
