Rick Simpson's impeccable technique and restless imagination have earned him a place at the forefront of contemporary UK music. He's equally at home exploring the tradition or pushing fearlessly against the boundaries, and now his creative voice is back in the spotlight with a typically idiosyncratic project: a re-framing of Radiohead's Kid A album, featuring ten original arrangements of the source material played by an all-star band of like-minded musicians.

Award winning composer and recording artist Tori Freestone joins James Allsop to form the twin-saxophone frontline, and Simpson is joined in the rhythm section by beloved veterans Dave Whitford on bass and Tim Giles on drums.

"Rick Simpson is certainly one of the outstanding personalities of contemporary jazz in the British Isles." – Jazz'halo
