Tristan Banks – A View From Above

A View From Above is drummer, composer, and producer Tristan Banks's debut album. "It's one of the best UK jazz releases of 2023" - Marlbank.

"We know that this album is something special"️ - UK Vibe

Drawing on over 30 years of experience as a sideman for many Grammy award-winning and platinum-selling artists. Mixing influences from jazz, Latin jazz, and fusion idioms, the music is a unique combination of high-octane virtuosic performance and sublimely melodic composition.

Banks unifies his long-standing musical friends Paul Booth, John Crawford, and Davide Mantovani to articulate his musical vision. Tristan's debut album was released on the Ubuntu Music record label on March 31st 2023.

"The idea was to push the acoustic jazz quartet format to the limit, being able to re-image the possibilities that the classic saxophone, piano, bass, drums line-up can manifest, and by being conscious of the sonic traditions that are typically replayed to confirm the listeners tastes while avoiding the genres timbral qliches."
