sumbuk This is, IMO, some superbly crafted jazz. It does not try to create new noises, but succeeds in creating excellent music. His later release is even better. (I have it through other sources.) Highly recommended.

about

Released in 2010 on the F-IRE label, 'Synaesthesia' is the debut recording from pianist and composer Sam Crowe.
A poetic and powerful statement, its potent melodies, rich harmonic palette, coupled with Crowe’s obvious love of rich textures and fascination with orchestration placed him firmly as one of this 2010's ‘Rising Stars’.
Since then Crowe has released his second album 'Towards The Centre Of Everything' on Whirlwind Recordings and has gone on to perfrom all over the world with artists as varied as Cinematic Orchestra, Valerie June to name a few.
Synaesthesia features a group of some of the UK jazz scene’s most individual voices - Jasper Høiby on bass, David Smith on drums, Adam Waldmann on saxes and Will Davies on guitar, who together give the group its very distinctive sound.

"Crowe is a class act, both as composer and pianist."
Vortex Jazz Review

"Startlingly accomplished"
