Recreating the exciting sound of swing from the 30’s and 40’s, Julian Bliss’s dynamic virtuosity leads his sextet through some of the great tunes of the swing era, staying true to the authentic feel but naturally with a modern twist.Julian Bliss says “I decided in the summer of 2010 that I wanted to start my own Jazz group. I enlisted the help of Neal Thornton (Piano) to help make this dream a reality. We spent months listening to every version of each tune we could find, and putting together our own versions while still being mindful of the light and fun feel Goodman captured all those years ago. We then had the task of putting the rest of the band together. We were specifically looking for musicians that had a great interest in the Swing era, and I must say we couldn’t have picked a better set of players”Benny Rides Again! This tribute to the King of Swing is an absolute gem recapturing perfectly the feel of those distant days. Based loosely on the Goodman Sextet although augmented, by the addition of Martin Shaw on trumpet, to a Septet to incorporate some of the big band material - the opening mix of Don't Be That Way and Stomping at the Savoy is particularly, and effectively, well done.Bliss, better known as a classical clarinettist, turns his attention to the small group works of Benny Goodman just as BG himself made forays into the classical repertoire.With a hand-picked team, the spirit of the thirties and forties exudes from each track without loss of individuality.The leader, a child prodigy at 5 and now 23, displays an innate affinity to the music producing a near perfect clarinet sound and, despite his classical upbringing, no lack of swing. Jim Hart once again proves his ability to handle any musical situation although he has had previous experience of the Goodman canon with Alan Barnes. Colin Oxley, not unknown in this neck of the woods, slots easily into the Charlie Christian role with impressive soloing and comping whilst Martin Shaw plays himself not attempting to go down the brash Harry James/Ziggy Elman path. His poignant duet with Bliss on Goodbye conveys the sadness of the Gordon Jenkins' tune.Neal and Tim Thornton (are they related?*) on piano and bass, alongside the ubiquitous Matt Skelton, fill out the rhythm section making this a very tight ship as indeed all Goodman units were.The King is dead - Long live the King!A worthy tribute.*Neal and Tim Thornton are father and son and this is their first record together.

As a young and aspiring composer, Handel spent 1706-1710 in Italy. These were years that would prove decisive for him, as he met with excellent opportunities to expand and perfect his skills, especially in the genre of vocal music. Based in Rome, where opera was banned by papal decree, Handel only composed two works in this most Italian of genres during his stay. Instead, following the example of other composers in the Holy City, he opted for another genre which incorporated similar dramatic and expressive qualities – the cantata. During his Italian years, it is believed that Handel may have written as many as 150 such works, including a number of so-called cantate con stromenti for one or more solo voices plus additional instruments. The four cantatas on this disc feature the standard combination for such works: soprano, two violins and basso continuo. Thematically, they can be grouped in pairs: Notte placida e cheta (Calm and Placid Night) and Un’ alma innamorata (A Soul in Love) tell of unhappy love and contain elements from Classical mythology against a pastoral backdrop. By contrast, Figlio d’alte speranze (Son of High Hopes) and Agrippina condotta a morire (Agrippina Led to Her Death) tell tales of power, and of its use and abuse. Each cantata presents a small drama in its own right, and can be seen as a preliminary study in the field of opera, in which Handel thoroughly explores the best ways of using the expressive means at his disposal.This exciting programme is presented by Emma Kirkby and London Baroque, household names in the sphere of ‘early music’ and beyond, and certainly no new-comers to the works of Handel. Indeed, when they last joined forces in a Handel programme (BIS-CD-1065) the website MusicWeb International called the performances ones that ‘make one wish that all Handel music making could be of this order’, while the reviewer in BBC Music Magazine wrote ‘I've seldom been as moved by a recording, both music and performance’.
