Tim Whitehead writes:
“Personal Standards” (volume 1) was the expression of a long-held desire to record popular and personally influential songs from my life history in the context of an acoustic jazz quartet. It was rewarded by becoming a jazz album of the year in the BBC Music Magazine and album of the week in The Guardian.
It led to further adventures which are reaching their maturity in Personal Standards Vol. 3, which also embraces favourite pieces from my own commissioned projects including “Skies Sketch Book page 3” from the album Colour Beginnings, “The Thames At Isleworth Ferry” from the London Jazz Festival commission Turner And The Thames, “A Shout To Wing” (written on the structure of the standard “Without A Song”) from Personal Standards Vol. 1, and “You Wish” (written on the structure of Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish”).
“Those of us who have caught him live… have been left in blinking disbelief. It’s not just his mastery of the tenor saxophone, phenomenal though it is, but the absolute conviction of his playing that is so impressive.” – Dave Gelly, The Observer/BBC
