Their CD – JOYRIDING - on Jazzizit records - was voted Best CD in
the British Jazz Awards 2012:
"Joyriding is an album full of good vibes and upbeat grooves,
tempered by the occasional reflective and romantic interlude.The
playing is superb,the sound quality is exceptional(thanks to Nash's
production at Clowns Pocket Studio) and the tunes are very definitely
a joy".......
"Nash is probably best known as an alto saxophonist but he impresses on all four horns with his astonishing fluency on baritone perhaps the most distinctive element.Newton is effortlessly elegant
throughout, as always, and Gascoyne and de Krom are the
consummate rhythm section,swinging forcefully one second, tenderly embellishing the next”
