LIVE REVIEW

UP LATE WITH DOMO BRANCH

Edinburgh International Festival 2023

edinburghmusicreview.com

“Having met stellar Scottish jazz conversationalists Paul Harrison (piano) and Andrew Robb (bass) but an hour beforehand, the three of them seamlessly conjured up an impressionistic sea of sound based on a set of standards. Here was Domo Branch and his first-rate collaborators paying tribute to the past while dwelling in the present and pointing to the future: jazz as it was meant to be. "

ALBUM REVIEW

SUGARWORK

Jazz Journal, November 2018

“This eponymously titled debut album comes from a Scottish band led by Paul Harrison, who wrote seven of the 10 tunes presented here and produced and mixed the album. The essence of the music owed much to Harrison’s proclivity for electronica. Amonst the angularity and staccato electronics of say, The Stairs, there are moments of pastoral serenity as on Short Story Long. Occasionally, as in The End One Day, both elements combine. Apparently, Harrison’s desire was “to create a band that uses harmony, improvisation and loud electronic instruments without straying into jazz fusion.” Judging by this recording, he’s achieved his ambition.”
