about

Mick Foster is a saxophonist and composer who is known as one of the UK's foremost exponents of the baritone saxophone.This album was recorded live at The Vortex, London, in October 2018, and captures the intimacy and excitement of this venue. It features melodic original compositions by Mick; the quartet brings together four of the most engaging and versatile musicians currently working in the UK jazz scene.

“Consider this album as a compendium of delights: each player at ease and intent. The Vortex audience clearly loved it all, as did this reviewer. A racing certainty for my 'Top Ten of 2020' list.”

Peter Vacher, Jazzwise, ****

"Live At The Vortex shows us that Foster is creative in his writing with a diverse range of compositional styles and influences. These works are then enhanced by an inspirational rhythm section that display ingenuity and intelligence. Aside from his compositional skill, there can be no doubt of Foster’s ability to switch effortlessly and convincingly between three contrasting instruments. This is a highly satisfying journey, which operates at a high level in the art of jazz composition."

Tom Fletcher, Jazz Journal, ****

“So while music venues slowly start reopening, as a silver lining, getting to hear a recording like this gives listeners a a taste of what they are all desperately craving - live music at its finest.”

Lavender Sutton, London Jazz News
