The announcement came as Gwilym Simcock's trio was performing the opening night of the 2011-12 The Base series at Kings Place on Saturday. The session recorded for transmission on BBC Radio 3's Jazz Line-Up in October, and with guest Tim Garland.
The trio played mostly new material, of which a highlight was Kenny's Way, a new tune in homage to Kenny Wheeler, involving that idea of soaring into a higher register. Tim Garland and Gwilym Simcock also played a Round Midnight as a duo, in memory of Tim's father-in-law. The sheer speed of bassist Yuri Goloubev's fingers on a bass, and the range of effects and the sound palette he can summon up - double stops on harmonics for example - were impressive.
