piano and percussion. Although brief in duration it captures its intended mood of sadness superbly. ?Sharp 9/8? gives the soloists a chance to stretch out over the unusual rolling rhythm. Hardy grabs the chance with both hands with some bravura trumpeting and Edis' own solo is impressive in its inventiveness, his chunky, percussive chording again evincing the influence of one Thelonious Monk. ?Elegy? completes a trilogy of reflective pieces but owes rather more to the traditions of the jazz ballad. Hardy and Hibbard provide emotive, well constructed solos on this often lovely piece. ?Blues For Dad?, Edis' dedication to his father Jerry is an upbeat celebration featuring the composer's exuberant blues piano soloing and Shoulder's bowed and sung solo in the style of Slam Stewart. Sinclair enjoys a series of volcanic drum breaks and the whole thing is tremendous fun. I bet Jerry loved it! The punning title of ?Ravelations? represents another acknowledgement of Edis' classical background and allows the pianist to stretch out at length, delicately probing and teasing before going on to solo more effusively. His regular trio partners Shoulder and Sinclair are the perfect accompanists. Wilson also solos on smooth and smoky tenor. The album closes with Wilson's ?Up Late?, something of a blowing vehicle and another live favourite. Hardy, Wilson and Hibbard blow up a storm over Sinclair's crisp rhythms. It's a good way to conclude a very satisfying and enjoyable album. ?There Will Be Time? exhibits much promise. The album borrows heavily from Monk, Blakey
