2009 from Iain Matthews, formerly of Fairport Convention, Southern Comfort and Plainsong fame, who returns, after a long absence, with a stunning collection of Jazz arranged songs. On paper, it’s a strange pairing: Egbert Derix is an established Jazz composer from the Netherlands and Iain Matthew’s roots, have taken hold in contemporary singer/songwriter circles. Derix’s finely honed sense of melody and feel and Matthews carefully crafted lyrics, created something very precise and special. The ensemble completed a recording of 12 new compositions and the album Joy Mining was born. Fled’ling.
