Notes

Together, As One is the third album as a leader from British award-winning trumpet player, composer and bandleader Laura Jurd and her debut with newly named band Dinosaur. Featuring Laura s regular collaborators, friends and creative cohort Elliot Galvin, Conor Chaplin and Corrie Dick, Together, As One is a coherently powerful and bold album that not only confirms her promise as one of the most important young musicians to emerge from the UK jazz scene in recent years but is also a statement that will launch her music into the international jazz world stratosphere. Laura Jurd s rise has already been nothing short of meteoric since she first burst onto the highly creative London scene in 2010. Very quickly she made a bold statement, releasing two highly acclaimed albums, and was selected as a BBC New Generation Artist. With her undeniably unique, creative and joyous spirit and approach to music making, she has developed a formidable reputation as one of the most creative young improvising musicians to emerge from the UK. With more than six years of immersing themselves in music creation the members of this vibrant and imaginative band have developed a deep understanding and almost telepathic communication in delivering Laura s playful, edgy compositions. Adjusting the focus to include electronic instruments (electric bass, fender rhodes and synths) the music adopts a fiery and edgy sound reminiscent of later Miles Davis albums. Seamlessly switching between synth and trumpet, Jurd effortlessly commands and leads the band through eight eclectic and compelling originals. Dinosaur will be on tour in the UK from late October and will be featured on the front cover of Jazzwise (Oct issue). Extensive press coverage is expected on the album.
