Liam Noble Solo
Liam Noble’s new solo recording reflects the eclecticism of his playing and listening experience. Encompassing attempts at playing the imaginary banjo,
(“Six White Horses”), adapting Miles Davis’s jazz rock style to the piano (“Directions”) and revisiting catchy tunes from “My Fair Lady” and Edward Elgar, Noble improvises his way through a multitude of songs, motifs and
themes with characteristic originality, patience and flair."
In Jazz Journal, Richard Palmer referred to him as “…a writer of considerable idiomatic and emotional range …he knows the instrument’s
pantheon from Tatum to Taylor…”
“....a brilliant pianist.”John Fordham, The Guardian
“….Liam Noble, a musician who just keeps getting better.”James Griffiths, The Guardian
“….a brilliant pianist who hardly plays a solo without at least one turn of phrase that brings you to the edge of your seat.”
John Fordham
Biography
Since leaving the Guildhall in 1991, Liam has worked towards developing a personal style formed from his experience playing everything from standards, new composition, free improvisation and, most recently, electronics. His Cd releases include "Close Your Eyes" (1994), "In The Meantime" (2001), "Romance Among The Fishes" (2004) and "Brubeck" (2007). In addition to his own projects, he has regular associations with saxophonists Julian Siegel, Bobby Wellins, Mark Lockheart, singer Christine Tobin and the improvising trio "Sleepthief" with Tom Rainey and Ingrid Laubrock as well as performances with many musicians from the UK and US including trumpeter Peter Evans, rhythm team Larry Grenadier and Eric Harland, and improvising viola master Mat Maneri.
His new quintet, in which his trio with Dave Whitford and Dave Wickins is augmented by the twin horns of Chris Batchelor and
Shabaka Hutchings, features new material that veers in and out of hard bop, bluegrass and tuneful ballads via a deliberately loose
approach to improvisation within carefully honed structures. Recent performing highlights include a solo broadcast for the prestigious WDR station recorded live in Köln, which was broadcast across six
countries simultaneously.
