I have started a new platform to run parallel with The 52nd called Weston Four. To get the ball rolling we are making available a recording that was made in 2022. The recording in question is ‘Jīngzhé 驚蟄 by The Loving Observer’. The personnel on the record are: 林維亞 Wei-Ya Lin on viola, Alen Ilijic piano, Franz Hautzinger on trumpet, and myself on Guitar and vocals. The recording was made by Christoph Amann at https://www.amannstudios.com/ in Vienna. This is just the beginning there are currently 2 recordings bubbling away in the kitchen and I will be making my photographic prints available to purchase soon also.

Once again we have two trios of outstanding British improvisers for you. Bashford, Harries, and Beresford draw from a highly varied musical stock that spans straight-ahead jazz, pop, folk, rock, and more. Beck, Lash, and Hession each have a deep connection to the DNA of the British improvised music scene.
