“An album about false riches, belief, folly, greed, love, connection and hope”
It’s the Easter Egg you’ve been waiting for… THE MAXIMALIST!!
YES, Neal’s new album is done and will be launched at our Seaford Club THIS MONTH!! We think this may be a world first for the town! ????
And, in a vain (vain?!) attempt to combat the onslaught of streaming and internet-suppliers-with-names-like-rivers-who-sell-stuff-lower-than-cost, it is for now ONLY available direct from us! (12th April onwards)
As a record label we do have worldwide distribution in place for both physical and digital, but we’re not switching those in for a few weeks…
So – get yourself to one of our gigs and get yourself a copy!
(SPR020CD on Splash Point Records – 20 years on from our first release).
True to the name, there’s loads of great music on it… 69 minutes of pure pleasure!
It has a very strong mix of originals and standards, blues and jazz, with lush harmonies and intricate arrangements, all played by a first class 7-piece band…
Oh, and you can COME AND HEAR THEM LIVE AT THE LAUNCH! Wed 12th April at our Seaford Club.
Lots of other gigs coming up too. Read on, dear Transfixed Ones…
