Maria Grapsa Sextet: Life

Pianist and composer Maria Grapsa brings together a team of Becca Wilkins/voc, Matthew Kilner/ts, Liam Brennan/as-cl-bcl, Tommy Fuller/dr and Tom Pountney-Torin Davies/g for a collection of post bop originals. The themes are melodic and impressionistic, with Grapsa in fluid form with Kilner on “The Fundamental Difference” and lyrical alongside Brennan for”Almost Already” With the guitarists, the team gets a bit rockish on “Anna B ack, wheeras Wilkins is gentle around the rich reeds on”Circus Lane”, poetic on the indie “Life” and impressionistic with the leader for “Childhood”. Parlor atmospheres.
