The new album by the Tony Woods Project - 'Lowlands' draws its inspiration from world music and in particular the indigenous melodic folk idioms of his native Britain. Tony Woods' quirky and uplifting compositions combined with outstanding musicianship from the whole band create a highly distinctive and individualistic sound. The collective improvisations are often reminiscent of early forms of jazz where the instrumentalists weave their lines around each other and are incorporated into bigger structures. Featuring the work of two rising stars: Mike Outram (guitar) and Milo Fell (drums and percussion), and long time associates Robert Millett on vibes and Andy Hamill on bass, the group displays a high degree of empathy and respect for each other and the music.

Press Quotes
Saxophonist, flautist and composer Tony Woods has drawn on British folk traditions for this inventive and imaginative new release and the results are lovely. There are moments of genuine beauty throughout the music as Woods forges a highly personal programme that owes nothing to the American jazz tradition. Instead there is a pastoral feel to much of the music that is quintessentially British. But for all that, this is music of drive and authority. Woods' soloing on his own Presence, Penny's Whistle and Rollo's Monkey is invigorating, and there is excellent support from guitarist Mike Outram, vibist Rob Millett and the bass-and-drums team of Andy Hamill and Milo Fell. It's jazz of admirable freshness and originality.
