Ferg Ireland Trio - Volume II

The second drop from Ferg Ireland and his heavy duty trio. Volume II finds Ireland (bass), Nathaniel Facey (sax) and James Maddren (drums) channelling the great chordless trios of Sonny Rollins. The trio sound authoritative whilst playing the proverbial out of a New Cross related blues -- cat-like on 'Mel's Mood' and stately on the serene 'When You Know'. Most of the tracks on this record were first takes and have an immediacy that allows Ireland's assured compositions to take unexpected directions. In the case of Lips, these boil over into a spontaneous furor on the outro, the faders left up to capture the vibe.
