Colin Steele: Stramash

The name Colin Steele should need no introduction. He has won awards galore for his inspired Celtic-jazz music. Everything he composes is tuneful, invigorating and unforced. This collection of 14 pieces features Steele on trumpet with his own band, plus three fiddlers, a piper-cum-whistler and cellist Su-a Lee - a recipe, according to his friends, for "a right bloody stramash" (Scots for confusion). In the event, it turns out to be the precise opposite.
