Andy Sheppard: Movements in Colour (2010)

After featuring on a dozen albums with Carla Bley for WATT/ECM, Movements In Colour is Andy Sheppard s first leader album for ECM. The British saxophonist heads a specially-assembled international quintet in a program of buoyant and strongly melodic self-penned pieces. Sheppard s elegant saxophone and the strongly-contrasting guitars of Paricelli and Aarset are lifted up by the rhythmic drive of Arild Andersen s muscular bass and the crisp, dynamic tabla of Kuljit Bhamra.
