Compassionate Dictatorship’s debut CD ‘Coup d’Etat’ drew comparisons with the great pairing of Joe Lovano and John Scofield, but their most recent album ‘Entertaining Tyrants’ (just released, and available at this gig) demonstrates that they have continued to evolve, both in the confidence of their compositions – tricky, complex, but always accessible - and in the imaginative interplay between the front-line instruments. With potent underpinning from the bass of Dave Manington and Maddren’s brilliantly sympathetic drumming, this is now a band that’s right up there in the vanguard of contemporary British jazz.

JNE Update
