Sabotage and Celebration is to be the latest album from pianist John Escreet with a starry cast of players joining the US-based English exile including David Binney, a long time collaborator, and fellow saxophonist Chris Potter, bassist Matt Brewer, and drummer Jim Black, with additional vocals, strings and brass. To be released by Whirlwind Recordings on 15 October Escreet recorded the album last November. It’s the 28-year-old Doncaster-born player's fifth album released since moving to live in New York, initially to study at the Manhattan School of Music. Photo: Alice Zulkarnain
