We're delighted to have ACV launch their new album, Busk, produced by Trio VD's Chris Sharkey and released on Babel records.
Bassist Andy Champion launched his quintet ACV in 2009, to play his compositions, drawing on influences from prog rock to free improvisation, but with jazz always at the heart. The result is a distinctive band sound and identity, where tight arrangements are peppered with insistent, rhythmic unison passages and ferocity, but also with more introspective moments, always melodic and direct.
Andy Champion - Double Bass
Graeme Wilson - Tenor & Baritone Sax
Paul Edis - Piano & Keyboards
Mark Williams - Guitar
Adrian Tilbrook - Drums
"...showing a terrific variety of approaches that joins the dots between current developments, Maiden Voyage-era Herbie Hancock and even prog rock." - Jazz UK
"...a distinctive group sound and identity... ACV are looking for something altogether darker and more organic and they succeed brilliantly." - Ian Mann (thejazzman.com)
