The David Rees-Williams Trio comes together to present their second recording with Champs Hill Records. This release, Classically Reminded: Bach, includes arrangements & improvisations on the solo keyboard music of J.S. Bach and Domenico Scarlatti. The trio was formed in 1988 featuring David Rees-Williams on piano, Neil Francis on bass guitar and Phil Laslett on drums. Based in Canterbury, Kent, they have performed many concerts in a diverse selection of festivals and events in the UK, Europe, The United States and Barbados. The David Rees-Williams Trio have just got better and better ... their new recording of jazz forays into the classical repertoire is just magical. (Guy Dammann, The Guardian)

Bach and Scarlatti in mod form, great stuff!
Fantastic music. Having cut my teeth on The Swingle Singers, and the Jacque Loussier Quartet, nothin very revolutionary in the content, just a different slant, but what a slant. Runs from the romantic to the very active in track after track. Some quite sublime and all with real musical masterclass of playing. Looking forward to the next one already.
