About smailandstephens

Paul & Dave have known each other for many years and had often talked about recording a series of duets together. Over the last two years they managed to sneak a few sessions in, and without any discussions started playing, and the result is the new cd "Red Boats & Blue Skies" (Available from December 1st 2007) "Lovely intuitive dialogue between the two players. Flying the flag for creative and melodic improvisation....very tasty! (John Etheridge) "A well crafted and enjoyable album - is it jazz? Who cares - it's great!" (Theo Travis) ORDER YOUR COPY HERE or order direct through www.jazzcds.co.uk

SoulDeep	Mar 23 2008 3:40 AM The Type of Music that inspires the Mind and Soul You guys deserve the recognition your music needs
Red Paper Dragon	Mar 19 2008 3:01 PM Thanks very much. We remember when you used to play with Alan Rice who taught some of us many years ago. We're at The Cavern on the 8th of April, when are you guys playing?
Marc Parnell	Feb 25 2008 5:59 AM Hi Dave! Very glad you like my tracks - thanks for the comments! As you asked, I just listened to the two tracks from your album. I have to say that Theo & John are right! I found it to be sweet and relaxing, well recorded and beautifully played. I have always believed that music should be (in part anyway) a reflection of the environment surrounding the musicians/composers who are creating it - whether it be a theme, or simply a feeling. For me you have captured the beauty of the South-West countryside!! As the name of the album suggests, I guess this was your intention... Well done! By the way, I love the drumming - who is it? (Only kidding!) Lots of luck to you both. Marc

smailandstephens	Nov 9 2007 5:03 AM John Etheridge has said that "Dave & Paul have produced an album that has a particularly attractive open pastoral and meditative quality - lovely intuitive dialogue between the two players. Flying the flag for creative and melodic improvisation...very tasty!"
