BBC award winner Simon King has released his new album, Red Centre. I feature on the track Beyond Tranquility. Whilst in the studio preparing to record we decided to play freely, without any preconceived ideas or music. The result is a track of over 15 minutes long, which was completely improvised. The rest of the album features Simon’s octet in fine form. You can buy this album on his website.
