“Wilcock’s extreme eclecticism runs from vigorous, sometimes minimalist, free improvisations to rhapsodic solos which will be deeply attractive to the average listener” - Eric Meyers, The Australian
Jazz and Sci-Fi don’t typically mix - In his album ‘The River Tethys’, Wilcock breaks away from conventionality in his most contemporary project to date through an eclectic mix of harmonic centers and brave improvisation. Each track on ‘The River Tethys’ is based on different unique worlds explored by protagonists within the sci-novel 'Hyperion' by author Dan Simmons.
Personnel: Ben Wilcock - Piano John Rae - Drums Dan Yeabsley - Bass
