Inspired greatly by the music of mentor John Taylor, as well as Kenny Wheeler, Turville was one of many artists who came together for the Jazz Piano Summit concert of 2015 dedicated to Taylor's immeasurable musical legacy. There, Turville presented his own homage, "A Perfect Foil" (which appears on this album), igniting a desire to realise originals and interpretations for an expanded line-up. The resulting collaboration, featuring Julian Argüelles, is a radiant celebration of British jazz creativity which also confirms the pianist's mastery of composition and performance.
Turville's sound world is informed by the likes of Fred Hersch (the album title a playful though gracious twist on his name) and Bill Evans, yet is frequently imbued with the harmonic colouring of classical composers such as John Ireland, Federico Mompou and the French Romantics.
Other tracks include the bustling "Fall Out", with strong horn motifs and driving, bass-propelled rhythms and turbulent, piano-figured "Seahorses" recalls a stormy sea trip off Seahouses, on the wild Northumberland coast, reflected in billowing, improvisatory freedom. "Almagro Nights", for piano trio, is full of Buenos Aires hustle, spotlighting Turville's brightness at the keyboard, while impressionistic soprano-and-piano "Interval Music" finds Argüelles waltzing oh so elegantly into the sublime, descending phrases of 'A Perfect Foil'.
