Album launches, interviews and more touring!

'Solstice' (the quintet Tori co leads alongside Brigitte Beraha on vocals and John Turville on piano amongst others) have finally released their debut album, and the launch gig will be at the Vortex on 7 December.  Check out the promotional video for the band above.  The album is called 'Alijmentation' and with this food theme there'll be lots of tempting treats to be had alongside the music including a free slice of cake or mince pie with each album bought.  It should be a delightfully delectable evening!

You can listen to one of the tracks as well as some of those from the recent trio album on Chris Phillips' show on jazz fm 'the blueprint' here

Tori will also be continuing the heavy touring schedule with the Ivo Neame Quintet with dates in the South West and Andre Canniere's Sextet with dates in Bristol, E17 Jazz and Bradford.  

After all this a break at Xmas and New Year for some sun, sea, mountains, respite and writing in Tenerife, before more touring and recordings in the New Year.  More on that shortly, so stay tuned for regular updates,
