Together, As One

by Dinosaur

supported by

wing commander beggsie By far the most exciting group around. This album pushes jazz on when so many current artists seem reflective and honouring the past. Not that Dinosaur doesn't, but they infuse their sound with everything else that's going on, and end up making a jazz album that has knowledge of the past but the heartbeat of the now.

john greenwood I was late to the party on this one. At least I can still get it on vinyl. I expect we will hear a great deal more from Laura and friends. Great album, great composition. Edition records continues to produce incredible
music. The vinyl is really first rate, sound engineering is above average.. Strong recommend to vinyl lovers. Favorite track: Extinct.

hypnobuddha Didn't know how much I craved this sound until I heard it. Epic, like a dinosaur. Favorite track: Underdog.

about

'Imagine the impressionistic electric-jazz moodiness and glistening keyboard textures of Miles Davis’s In A Silent Way seamlessly wrapped around Celtic folk melodies, Django Batesian idiom-swaps, and interwoven with American, Scottish and north African drumming – and you might have a feel for this superb set from Laura Jurd' GUARDIAN ***** (Five Stars)

‘Dinosaur is a new British jazz "supergroup"’. ALL ABOUT JAZZ (UK)

‘Surely rank as one of the best debut albums for years, a remarkable fusion of thoughtful compositions, skilful musicianship and visceral energy. ALL ABOUT JAZZ (UK)

"Apparently there's a jazz revival going on! Here's Dinosaur...let's just call it social music." BBC 6 MUSIC GILLES PETERSON (UK/INTERNATIONAL)

"Such a great record!" BBC RADIO 6 MUSIC GILLES PETERSON (UK/INTERNATIONAL)

“This band are going to be huge…” JEZ NELSON, SOMETHIN’ ELSE (UK)

"...a powerful and bold album...Laura [Jurd] skilfully blends elements of folk, rock and jazz and I think she's really developed a unique style of her own..." BBC RADIO 3 CLAIRE MARTIN ("I’m a fan!")

“That’s pretty much punk rock by jazz standards…” NICK LUSCOMBE, BBC RADIO 3 LATE JUNCTION (UK)

"The elegiac closer, "Interlude" signs off what must surely rank as one of the best debut albums for years, a remarkable fusion of thoughtful compositions, skilful musicianship and visceral energy." ALL ABOUT JAZZ (UK)

“Rechristening her regular quintet Dinosaur gave fair notice of their thrilling power live, where they’re as likely to fly into souful Sly Stone or JB’s terrain. Their debut album, though, is a considered studio production, with a sense of space and shape...” JAZZWISE (UK)

“Despite it’s influences this is not a repetition of the old, as freshly and intensively as the quartet plays.” VALONKUVIA (FI)

“…impressive young trumpeter Laura Jurd’s Dinosaur offered up some savory, funk-fueled neo-fusion grooves…” DOWNBEAT (USA) (review of Berlin Jazz Festival 2016)

"Most of the solo work is carried by Jurd’s inventive, expressively mobile trumpet and the general ensemble components are imaginatively arranged, all contributing to a lively and productive album of originals from this high-level British group." THE AUSTRALIAN (AUS)

Downloaded this album as i'm a huge fan of Phronesis. Had it playing in my music room while I was stuffing around on the computer. Really got me in in and in no time I was listening seriously. Excellent music. Love Jurds trumpet and all the other players. Very, very good. Cheers Deano Dean Bull

This is the science fiction of jazz! A stylish blend of cosy and smooth jazz with modern hints of loop-based arrangements and cutting-edge sound editing. If you thought that The Cinematic Orchestra or Jazzanova are the pinnacle of the future jazz movement, you'll have to recalibrate your ears! Others will gladly stand on the shoulders of these giants... Koen Veldeman
