about

This was my first album, recorded in Paris in 1992, released and distributed in 1996. I was good friends with all the musicians and we recorded the album at the legendary Studio Davout in one all-night session to keep it fresh and spontaneous - and to save money! The cover photo is by Marcus Robinson, taken on the train tracks near the Bibliothèque Nationale.

Some press review highlights:

"These musicians guarantee a performance full of colour, humour and rhythmic movement." Sydney Morning Herald, Australia

"Something precious, delicate and often fragile, but very valuable. A minor gem."
American Music Guide, USA

"His piano playing is clear, precise and spontaneous, unveiling dark sweetness ".
Zicline, France

"Superb soundscapes of melody and colour." Basler Zeitung, Switzerland

"The material sparkles whether the mood is buoyant swing, darker funk, or walks on the wild side of improvisation. " Sydney Morning Herald, Australia

"A fine mix of superior technical talent and youthful inventiveness” Variety, USA

"Accessible and mysterious at the same time." Saturday Star, USA

" A European sensibility with a nod to Debussy." Rolling Stone

"Splendidly rich and varied " Jazzwise, U.K

"A driving post-bop style… Well worth checking out." Cadence, USA

"Widely different approaches to free moods." Jazz Journal, United Kingdom

" Refreshing like a breeze off the ocean, and redolent with mystery."
Drum Media, Australia

"Strong confident improvising, with space between phrases for the rhythm section to churn over Cody's ideas, before he would return with a line that might curl as unpredictably as a cut snake." Sydney Morning Herald
