What the critics have said about Big Band Byrne
Colin Byrne, one of the finest interpreters of jazz in the United Kingdom. ..he has also included a jazz dimension seldom seen in mainstream Americaâan amalgamation of big band style with underlying influences of pianist Duke Ellington and bassist Charles Mingus. Leaving For Home is a passion filled musical delight, a recording that goes the distance towards building a foundation of energized exuberance, a truly amazing piece of work from the United Kingdom of jazz. Colin Byrne and big band jazz go together with a breath of fresh air seldom experienced in recent years. As you listen to Leaving For Home, place the album under the letter âBâ for a brilliantly conceived recording that is one of the finest recordings of its kind to date.

Leaving For Home takes one on a nice ride to a destination, connecting new material in one riveting performance. The album is replete with solo journeys from players who represent the top echelons of the British jazz world. Byrne has carved out a unique place of his own with this audacious, fiery recording in the finest big band tradition.

The orchestra whips up an absolute storm...it's a white knuckle ride of burning solos, careering textures and propulsive energy...a startlingly good debut.
Peter Quinn, Jazzwise Magazine. www.jazzwise.com
Byrneâs arrangements are imaginative and manage to escape many of the big-band clichés. The band displays a high standard of ensemble work, with punchy brass and well-drilled saxes. Burkill contributes some fine tenor-sax work.

â¦a revelation in terms of power and control. compelling big-band arrangements⦠kept the audience on its feet, both in terms of paying attention and at the end whilst shouting for moreâ¦
Jazz in Leeds. www.jazzinleeds.co.uk
the band exhibit an infectious enthusiasm both for each otherâs playing and for the material Byrne has provided for them, and the resulting album is a joyous celebration of big-band values: tight ensemble work, freewheeling solo features, punchy riff playing, fierce interaction between sections.
Chris Parker. www.vortexjazz.co.uk
So, if you imagined that the big band was a near-extinct behemoth, dinosaur-like, imagine instead a huge, gleaming limousine, a pride of lions, a herd of proud Arab steeds. Suffice to say that if you rate the crisp big bands of Buddy Rich and Thad Jones/Mel Lewis, with a touch of full-throated Kenton, do not miss this stunning 7-track album.
