Bio
.. .. Download Daydreams now from iTunes .. .... .. .... Excellent northern pianist who brings together a range of classic, contemporary and urban approaches.. The Times.... The writing is thoughtful and imaginative, and never overrides melodic development in the interests of harmonic complication. It is backed up with creative soloing in an accessible post-bop style... well worth checking out...The Scotsman.... Backchat is the second album by Sheriff's excellent Octet, and a fine album it is too.The music is both swinging and sophisticated, with Sheriff showing himself once again to be a constantly inventive arranger. Just when you think you've heard it all, he'll come up with something fresh...Jazz UK.... BACKCHAT is distinguished by piquant tunes that stitch together like little symphonies, to say nothing of timeless jazz virtues like swing and clarity. The nonchalance suggests seasoned players, but the undercurrent of joy gives the game away: the band comprises of young guns led by Leeds piano player Jamil Sheriff. An instinctive melodist, the frontline is an extension of his own colourful piano: At a superficial level, Backchat is cool and bright and conventional. Close listening reveals a wealth of detail and texture. A quiet marvel. ..Manchester Evening News.... These tracks display Sheriff's enterprising arrangements, which make interesting use of the ensemble. That adventurous spirit is illustrated by Sheriff's handling of the closing tune, Harold Arlen's Over the Rainbow... Andrew Colman takes a poignant flugelhorn solo, backed by questing accompaniment from the rhythm section, followed by an equally delicate piano solo from Jamil... ..Tony Augarde Jazz CD Review.... In the octet of pianist/composer Jamil Sheriff, parochial loyalties are transcended through classy contemporary jazz with a personal stamp. The vitality of Sheriffs horn writing has been making waves for a while.....The Guardian.... This is intelligent and original music and it is highly accessible as well as being beautifully recorded. There are many post-bop influences, balancing disciplined, through-composed sections with highly articulate solos from some of the best young musicians in the country. Little wonder that there are long queues for the CD wherever the Jamil Sheriff Octet plays .. Yorkshire Post.... Daydreams is a record that clearly demonstrates that Sheriff is not intimidated by writing for four hornsbalancing early influences of Horace Silver with a Wayne Shorter-like commitment to narrative composition. There is no shortage of fine soloists immaculate taste soul and lyricism.. The Guardian.... A notable debut c.d. from pianist composer sheriff.a fierce introduction grabs the attention then follows a succession of carefully crafted pieces which not only demonstrate jamils talents as composer and arranger but provide fine settings for the rising stars in the band..jazz U.K..... Jamil has succeeded on two fronts his compositions are as imaginative and enjoyable as ever and he has put together an ensemble which showcases his writing talents as much as it does the considerable individual skills of his all star cast of musicians.. Northern Exposure.... Jamils music moves from driving blues inflected melodies to sensitive, cleverly arranged melancholic moods, to odd time shuffle grooves, all underpinned by a beautiful sense of melody.. Leeds Guide.. .. .. .... .. ...... THE JOEL PURNELL QUARTET: .. www.joelpurnell.com......Joel Purnell (Saxophone)..Jami Sheriff (Piano)..Zoltan Dekany (Bass) .. John Perry (Drums).... .. GLP Records 2008 ..............<< BUY ALBUM ...."Red Shift" by the "The Joel Purnell Quartet" is also available from: ..Napster.., ..Emusic.., ..Rhapsody.., ..MTraks.., ..Amazon MP3........ <mspmb allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" src="http://widget-39.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="site=widget-39.slide.com.com&channel=5995321&cy=ms" width="700" height="220" name="flashticker" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage=" -

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...
"I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest."
"I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me."
"I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap."
"I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender."
"My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive."
"What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife."
"This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruit-of-the-loom guys laughing at me."
~ Rodney Dangerfield

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT NOT SETTLING ...
"DON'T SETTLE for LESS.
DON'T SETTLE for someone YOU DON'T LIKE as your partner.
DON'T SETTLE for a JOB you don’t like.
DON'T SETTLE for "friends" who make you feel like a lesser person.
DON'T SETTLE for a LIFE you are UNHAPPY WITH.
GO FOR what you REALLY WANT.
STRIVE FOR the BEST – you don’t deserve anything
LESS THAN THAT."
