Ant Law

Life I Know

Contemporary jazz guitarist’s third solo album After studying for a BSc in Physics and Music at Edinburgh, and then moving on to do a semester at Berklee, jazzer Ant Law is rapidly establishing himself as one of the foremost jazz players on the current scene. Having secured a regular gig with Tim Garland’s band and touring extensively, this is his third outing as soloist. With an accompanying band comprising Ivo Neame on piano, Tom Farmer on bass, Mike Chillingworth on alto sax and James Maddren on drums, Ant manages to display both his compositional and arranging skills throughout. There’s more than a touch of Holdsworth to be found on tracks such as Aquilinus and

Movies, which contrast with his beautiful solo rendition of the song Pure Imagination from the 1971 film Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. [DM] Standout track: Pure Imagination For fans of: Allan Holdsworth, John Scofield
