Jim Rattigan’s Pavillon returns with a new album and tour following the success of their debut release Strong Tea.  “I chose the title The Freedom of Movement to reflect my career, not only travelling the world performing but also moving between many different genres of music,” explains Rattigan.  “The freedom to do both these things has always excited me as a musician and in all the truly wonderful experiences that I have had, the highlight has undoubtedly been forming the group Pavillon.”

 

Rattigan has composed and arranged nine new compositions for Pavillon.  The 12-piece band features the following leading musicians, each one of a player of note: Martin Speake, Andy Panayi and Mick Foster on saxophone; Percy Pursglove, Steve Fishwick and Robbie Robson on trumpet; Mark Nightingale on tenor trombone; Sarah Williams on bass trombone; Hans Koller on piano; Dave Whitford on double bass and Martin France drums.  “It is a joy to write for these amazing and creative jazz musicians and I leave space in the compositions for creativity through improvisation,” says Rattigan.  “The music in The Freedom of Movement is reflective at times but also optimistic and I hope, uplifting.”

Notes

Jim Rattigan: www.jimrattigan.com

Jim Rattigan is one of the UK’s leading French horn players and widely recognised as a pioneer of the jazz French horn.  He has performed with many globally renowned artists including, Michael Brecker, Bill Frisell, Carla Bley, Charlie Haden, Paul McCartney, George Michael and Adele.  Rattigan has recorded with all the London symphony orchestras including soundtracks for the James Bond and Lord of the Rings series and he was a member of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra from 1989 to 1995.  After leaving the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Rattigan started playing jazz full time with the likes of Hans Koller, eventually forming his own quartet with Koller, Dave Whitford and Gene Calderazzo.  Working with musicians such as Percy Pursglove and Robbie Robson in various ensembles run by Mike Gibbs inspired Rattigan to form his own 12-piece band, named Pavillon after the French word for the bell of the French horn.
