Album Notes & Community Reviews

British pianist and composer Michael Garrick teams up with vocalist Norma Winstone for this sophisticated and challenging Argo Records release. Expanding on traditional British modern jazz, 'Troppo' incorporates complex, avant-garde vocal phrasing and classical influences, resulting in an esoteric, highly textural musical journey. It underscores Garrick's adventurous approach to ensemble composition during the decade.
