"Joel Purnell's latest solo album ‘Red Shift’ (GLP Records) has achieved international critical acclaim and clearly represents his varied influences in both improvisational and compositional styles; from the Coltrane style ballad ‘This Is How I Knew’ to the modern contemporary title track ‘Red Shift’, this album demonstrates the strong connection created between Purnell’s Quartet since their formation in 2003; revealing a fluid, tight jazz unit, with a clear understanding of each others individual styles and the compositions as a whole. This “high-class band” (The Guardian) features an experienced, talented and highly respected rhythm section who all possess a true passion for jazz, musicality and improvisation; consisting of double bassist Zoltan Dekany, pianist Jamil Sheriff and drummer John Perry, ‘The Joel Purnell Quartet’ regularly performs extensively throughout the UK and Europe. The bands latest album ‘Red Shift’ is now available from all major digital music stores, including iTunes, Napster, Amazon, CD Baby, Rhapsody, Emusic, mTraks, Audio Lunchbox, Sony Connect and Passalong.
