about

Broadening out away from the compositional technique of isorhythms, Big Ship is a multi-faceted set. This time, without the need for a recurring ostinato, Stiefel has allowed more space and freedom for the exploration of melody, harmony and interesting movement within the music. The depth and variety of material on Big Ship is striking. Thalatta and Attitudes have an urgency and joyfulness that hints at South African jazz, whilst New May is an affecting, strongly melodic ballad. This is a trio with real authority and knowledge of the jazz tradition, using this knowledge and their technical ability to craft something fresh, meaningful and contemporary a personal vision of what jazz can be today.
