About
This first release from the dynamic trumpet player features Charlotte Keeffe in a number of configurations recorded mainly live over the last three years.
The four Quartet recordings on the disk find Charlotte in her group with guitar, bass and drums - the music is melodic, soaring, incisive jazz. By contrast, the tracks with the venerable London Improvisers Orchestra find Charlotte in a conduction mode, spontaneously creating structures and textures from this very large group of players. The solo and duo tracks on the record highlight Charlotte's love of live electronic transformation of her sound. Taken as a whole this collection sets out a varied musical stall for this exciting young player/composer.
Charlotte Keeffe: trumpet and flugelhorn
Moss Freed: guitar
Ben Handysides: drums
Ashley John Long: double bass

Awards and reviews
October 2021
British trumpeter Charlotte Keefe expands her work in more ways than one. Moving from solo to duo to quartet to large ensemble she retains a strong identity. Her full-bodied, broad tone and stealthy phrasing are effective regardless of the changes in instrumentation and stimulus provided by her wide range of accompanists, and first and foremost Keefe shows notable strength of character as she runs the sonic and emotional gamut.
