Tripwire [Vinyl]

Recorded in just one day, Tripwire is the latest album from saxophonist and composer Will Vinson.

Realising a long-held ambition to record a chord-less trio album, Vinson is joined here by bassist Matt Penman, one of today's most adventurous bass players, and drummer Eric Harland, known for his impressive work with the world's jazz luminaries.

Special guest tenor saxophonist Melissa Aldana also joins for two tracks. The record captures the energy of returning to the studio and playing for the first time since the Covid-Pandemic lockdowns, and further cements Vinson's reputation as a virtuosic risk-taking leader.

Tripwire skilfully brings together Vinson's vision of freedom and collaboration into a cohesive album that documents the highly charged reunification of musicians, masterfully captured during a one-off recording session.
