New Ting Ting Loft



Eddie Prévost's description of his trio can apply equally well, I think to New Ting Ting Loft. New Ting
quite intuitively ... works in a subtle, attentive way: examining what the music is and where it is going all within the process of playing; feeling the very weight of the sounds; measuring each contribution and placing sounds to be complementary and in contrast to other sounds; feeling the stuff of the instruments, and sensing the presence of other creative beings. This is part of the extraordinary and gloriously uncertain matrix of what making and listening to music should be about. These qualities signify what makes for positive, purposeful and creative human relationships. If they are not to be found in a music, then I reckon it is found wanting. (Eddie Prévost, "Touch: the weight, measure and feel of things," liner notes to Eddie Prévost Trio, Touch, 1997)
