John Pope Quintet @ Fizzle – Review
“It was a tribute to Ward’s skills that he fitted in seamlessly, playing flawlessly during the ensemble sections and also impressing as a creative soloist on both alto sax and bass clarinet.”
“astonishingly nimble bass clarinet solo from the admirable Ward”
“Ward’s alto excursion combined fluency with incisiveness,”
“Ward delivered a blistering alto solo”
BRÅK autumn/winter 2021
Dee Byrne’s Outlines recording session
Spinningwork recording session
“the quality and the exhilarating feel of the music didn’t subside and the final number saw great wild interplay between Ward’s alto and Hunter’s drums.”
