Andi ChorleyLanding Ground by Laura Jurd, released on Chaos Collective in 2012.
The Guardian - review by John Fordham
"...Landing Ground, which combines her jazz group and the Ligeti String Quartet, has a markedly through-composed and contemporary-classical feel – but the leader on trumpet, her fellow Trinity College student Elliot Galvin on piano ..and cellist Ben Davis all supply succinct and original improvisation. Moreover, Jurd's striking themes suggest English, Spanish and Scottish folk melodies, and (on the beautiful Happy Sad Song) something of the wry lyricism of Kenny Wheeler. The evocative Flight Music joins melodic and rhythmic ideas without losing its sense of tranquillity...Jurd's huge promise as a trumpet improviser is showcased in a series of short duets – long-toned and graceful with the cello, free-jazzy with the piano, vivaciously dancing with the drums."
