CD: To The Earth
Laura Jurd DINOSAUR
release date: 15 May 2020
New album from Mercury-nominated British jazz supergroup Dinosaur, led by trumpeter and composer Laura Jurd.
Dinosaur's latest album finds the band in a more acoustic setting, presenting brand new material that reflects a decade of wonderful playing together while still retaining the sonic elasticity of their previous, more electric album "Wonder Trail".
Through the compositions of bandleader and multi-award-winning composer Laura Jurd, Dinosaur explores Laura's distinctive, ever-evolving music with playful abandon and technical prowess.
Laura Jurd enjoys a reputation as one of the most remarkable British jazz musicians of her generation. Having played at some of the world's most renowned jazz festivals, including North Sea, Molde and Montréal, the band continues to go from strength to strength, now in its tenth year of trumpet-led, improvisational magic.
