	John Law Trio
	Giant Leaves (Autumn Steps) [FMRCD32-V0862]
	This recording presents the Trio in original material by Law. though the music certainly belongs to all three members who all have a free role with a lot of leeway to express themselves. In keeping with their long-term aim, to explore the classic jazz standard language from an open, improvised perspective, there are also references to well known jazz tunes - though everything is performed in a new and fresh way. With the release of this recording and the Thelonious Monk project (FMR 36), the reputation of the John Law Trio will grow in stature and given time will be spoken of in equal terms with the great trios of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett.

	John Law Trio
	The Onliest [FMRCD36-E1062]
	A unique CD presented as a collaboration between music and art: totally original renditions of eleven classic Monk tunes with full colour reproductions of eight abstract artworks based on his music, by the artist Melanie Day. As an unusual touch, six very short, increasingly abstract versions of the tune "Thelonious" are interspersed as in the Promenade from Mussorgsky’s Pictures At An Exhibition. All the members of the Trio get a chance to show their individuality and all three play a solo tune. And the music swings!
