The video above is a live version of the title track, the very last number, on Next Beginning, a debut by saxophonist Samuel Eagles. If you think the surname is familiar you’d be right as Samuel’s brother, also a saxophonist, is well-known now on the Cool School and hard bop-inspired end of the new generation London jazz scene as a member of the adventurous piano-less trio Partikel. Drummer Eric Ford, who is also in Partikel, joins Eagles who plays alto and soprano saxes on this quartet recording of Eagles’ own compositions made at Derek Nash’s Clown Pocket studio, and released by the F-IRE label in its “Presents” series this November. The line-up of the quartet is completed by vibist Ralph Wyld and bassist Fergus Ireland. The Eagles (trips off the tongue, doesn’t it?) play the Lancaster Jazz Festival later this month on 20 September, with dates to follow at London venue the Mau Mau Bar (23 October), and the Oval Tavern, Croydon (9 November) ahead of a Sunday lunchtime launch in Soho during release week itself.
