Louis Stewart & The Fank Harrison Trio - You've Changed ( Desert Island Jazz)

"You've Changed" sees Harrison's regular trio of Scottish wunderkind Aidan O'Donnell (bass) and Stephen Keogh (drums) in the company of Irish guitarist Louis Stewart. The idea for this generation spanning collaboration came from Stewart's fellow countryman Keogh who had played with Stewart in the past.Stewart is something of a veteran; born in 1944 he has played with great British names such as Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott and accompanied Americans of the calibre of Lee Konitz, Gerry Mulligan and Benny Goodman. As long ago as 1968 he won the press award as best soloist at the Montreux Jazz festival

Like " First Light" the album was recorded in Italy to the highest technical standards with Andrew Tulloch again engineering. The album was co-produced by Keogh and Harrison. Ian Mann Review

Martin Taylor - Freternity CD & DVD - (P3 Music).

New CD & DVD release from the legendary guitarist, recorded during summer 2006 on the Isle of Man using the Blue Mobile. The album & DVD soundtrack were mixed & mastered at the Blue Studio by Andrew. It's a straightforward presentation with no gimmicks, just virtuoso performances, clearly filmed and well recorded. Besides the quintet tracks there are fabulous guitar solos on Stella By Starlight and Hymn A L'amour, and a delightful duet for trumpet and guitar on Li'l Darlin'. The DVD has two bonus tracks and a very enjoyable conversation between old friends Martin and Guy. Peter Bevan, The Northern Echo

Some of the material on the album was quite a challenge to re-master, as the older recordings only existed on Vinyl and had a lot of surface noise to contend with.

John Etheridge - 'I Didn't Know' (Dyad DY024)

John Etheridge’s new solo album, which was produced & engineered by Andrew. Stunning playing and great tunes from a guitar master. Here’s what the Observer had to say:

‘This is the kind of album to make you glad you're not a guitarist. How can anyone achieve this level, not just of skill but of musical inclusiveness? Nothing seems to be beyond Etheridge's grasp. He can spin a simple old spiritual, 'Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child', into four minutes of almost abstract melody, then follow it with an undeniably funky 'Mercy, Mercy, Mercy' and make both sound complete and perfect. Maybe that's why he hasn't yet been hailed as a superstar - there's just too much of him to fit into any known marketing category. This astonishing set of 16 numbers, solo apart from a few discreet overdubs, also exhibits Etheridge the composer, who turns out to be equally impressive. This is one not to miss.

Mose Allison – The Mose Chronicles: Live in London ( Blue Note/EMI)

Saying that Mose Allison is an American original is redundant. Mose is by all accounts one of the most unique voices in jazz.. He is also an institution in London. The British understand his dry, sardonic wit, and he brings to them the richness of an American culture couched in the vernacular of our time and steeped in the blues.

On THE MOSE CHRONICLES: LIVE IN LONDON, Mose finds himself in the center of an ever expanding London cult following. This particular rhythm section is one with whom he has played over 1000 gigs. The empathy between Mose and drummer, Mark Taylor is nearly telepathic, and the venue, too, is Mose's home away from home – London’s Pizza Express.

The Mose Chonicles: Live In London, Volume 1 was recorded by Andrew,and nominated for Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 44th Annual GRAMMY Nominations.

Scott Hamilton Quartet – Live in London ( Concord Records )

Scott Hamilton is one of the great American tenor saxophone players. His imfamous ‘ big’ sound can be heard here on this album recorded live in London by Andrew.

……” The King of Cool” Evening Standard

Musicians: Scott Hamilton – tenor saxophone, John Pearce – piano, Dave Green – bass, Steve Brown – drums

Morrisey Mullen – Everything Must Change : The Definitive Collection ( Sulphuric Records)

Digitally remastered by Andrew at The Blue Studio this excellent compilation is taken from seven albums originally released during the 70’s & 80’s.

Hamish Stuart – SOLO ( Sulphuric Records)

This 5 track album is Hamish Stuart’s ( Average White Band ) tribute to the great Donny Hathaway. It was recorded in a very organic way with no studio tricks, just Hamish with his guitar singing songs he loves in front of a microphone. Enjoy…
