Debut album from pianist Victor Gould (who has worked with Wallace Roney among others) ‘Clockwork’ is a strong modernist jazz album that has bass, drums and keys at its core but has additions of flugelhorn, sax, strings and cello combining well. Live and airy in feel the playing is stunning throughout. ‘Clockwork’ builds and builds with layers of percussion creating a crescendo of sound and colour, ‘Blue Dales’ bobs and weaves and has a wonderful feeling of space and atmosphere, ‘Apostle John’ sneaks and steps and the lush strings take it to another level while ‘Nefertiti’ changes shape and form throughout. The finale ‘Three Souls’ is an emphatic closing piece. Brilliant stuff!
