Released on the 20th Anniversary of the release of Radiohead’s genre-busting album ‘Kid A’\, Rick presented Everything All Of The Time: Kid A Revisited on our favourite record label\, Whirlwind Records. \nThe album is described as a typically idiosyncratic project: a re-framing of Radiohead’s Kid A album\, featuring ten original arrangements of the source material played by an all-star band of like-minded musical mavericks. \nThe project was created to mark the 20th anniversary of the original album’s release\, as part of a series of sell-out shows curated by Simpson at London’s Vortex club featuring non-jazz records rearranged with an improvisational focus. The original show was such a success\, drawing in listeners from beyond the club’s regular audience\, that Simpson re-assembled the band in the studio and recorded the entire album in a single afternoon session “I think the time pressure contributed to the performances. It’s really punchy and to the point\, but a lot happens – it captures the energy so well”. There’s a wealth of detail to discover\, and surprises at every turn. \nHere are just some of the press accolades: \n“Simpson’s energy on this recording is infectious… The arrangements are terrific\, with the two frontline saxes bringing a welcome edge to the session.” ★★★★ UK Vibe \n“A brilliant mix of focussed energy and wild imagination.” ★★★★ Jazzwise Magazine \n“Simpson and his band produce not simply a heartfelt homage but a genuinely stirring set of tunes in their own right.” Jazz Views \nRick will be playing many of the tunes from the album for us\, so it really goes without saying that you don’t want to miss In Our Own Space: Music and Conversation with RICK SIMPSON \nAll tickets purchased will also allow exclusive access to a video recording of the performance for one month afterwards.
