GLASWEGIAN drummer Corrie Dick will release his new album with launches across the UK.
In recent years he has caused a stir in the UK and European jazz scene with his diverse activity, receiving attention from fellow musicians, press, venues and fans alike.
Dick surrounds himself with young superstars, having co-founded Chaos Collective with Young European Jazz Artist of the Year Elliot Galvin and Parliamentary Jazz Awards Artist of the Year Laura Jurd.
The “young master of contemporary grooves” has studied traditional music in Ghana and Morocco, and also in his home land of Scotland.
Impossible Things is the debut release from Chaos Collective’s London-based Corrie Dick and it is a celebration of melodic music.
Corrie’s prowess as a composer has been paramount to his diverse original/co-lead projects including power-jazz quartet Blue-Eyed Hawk and songwriter influenced Little Lions, but here his style has flourished to new levels.
Corrie has penned contemporary folk melodies reminiscent of Celtic traditions and at times North African music and arranged them in a flowing series of modern-day anthems.
He has provided a platform for each member of this group to flourish organically throughout, notably Alice Zawadzki’s vocal on the Alice In Wonderland themed Six Impossible Things, Laura Jurd’s trumpet on the Moroccan-tinged Annamarrakech and saxophonist Joe Wright’s Lock Your Heart Up.
Corrie Dick will perform at Dempsey's, Cardiff, on September 21.
