Jazz, Folk Jazz, CD kiadvány, 2017-es album.
Wanderlust features eight of Mike’s compositions and an arrangement of a Norwegian folk tune, explored through group improvisation. Mike has brought together the band, also called Wanderlust and comprising Beth Porter (Eliza Carthy , Newton Faulkner, The Proclaimers, Petula Clarke ) on cello, Chris Cundy (Guillemots, Fyfe Dangereld, Timber Timbre, Cold Specks, Devon Sproule) on soprano and tenor saxes, bass and contrabass clarinets, Paul Arthurs (Edd Donovan) on drums and Graeme Owen (Thee Ones) on double bass, with cameo appearances on tin whistle by Steve Rowley and Clive Bell (Jah Wobble and known as a player of Japanese bamboo flutes, the shakuhachi).
What is great about this CD is it is so listenable and yet there are moments when the attention is grabbed and intensified by a particular interlude or solo – and there are many in the CD. This makes it not only worthy of a listen but also imparts a sense of care, understanding of the listener, not to mention clever arranging. This is entertainment. There are delicate little sections where the music is light and intricately woven countered by sections, which blow your socks off. Naturally piano-led by Mike Adcock but also generous in the space given to the other instruments, this is one of those recordings where each listen brings a little more; a bit extra and another discovery, especially in the final track which is musical mastery.
