Flight is the new album by Dave Stapleton, his most ambitious and finest record to date. Many artists have their ambitions but rarely are these fulfilled with such artistry and beauty. Flight marks Stapleton’s seventh release and he has chosen to use the opportunity to produce a record that reaches far beyond easy categorisation. Already recognised as a writer of beautiful, lyrical tunes, Flight marks a giant leap forward and establishes him as one of the most ambitious composers in jazz.
‘Between the Lines’ is the third album from the Dave Stapleton Quintet and their most accomplished and complete statement to date. Following a series of 4 and 5 star reviews from the UK, French and German press with their second album ‘The House Always Wins’, Between the Lines confirmed their promise and firmly launch the Dave Stapleton Quintet as one of the finest outfits on the UK Jazz scene. Full of robust melodies, hard hitting grooves and fiery playing, Between the Lines is a hugely dynamic, powerful, and engaging work packed with a warmth and a depth that is utterly compelling.
