Jim Massarik of the London Evening Standard writes...
An expert double-bassist who has worked with American stars galore, Tottenham-born Jim Richardson knows a good thing when he hears it.
Two unsung local heroes, guitarist Phil Lee and altoist Bob Martin, figure in his latest London group.
Martin, originally from Atlantic City, has the warm sound and superb fluency of a latter-day Phil Woods, while Lee, who contributes two originals in Chapter One and Denial, displays the taste and economy of a British Jim Hall.
Richardson's occasional bass solos are of similarly heavyweight class. Drummers Clark Tracey or Matt Fishwick round out the kind of quartet that gives straight-ahead neobop a good name.
