Peter Knight: The Gemini Cadenza (Peter Knight Productions.)

STEELEYE Span's fiddle player, Peter Knight, is in sparkling solo form on this album of string and keyboard concoctions. As you'd expect, he dips into his considerable experience of folk music, but he also helps himself to jazz, blues and classical references. This is as much Ceorge Shearing as it is Bela Bartok, yet it has an enviable individual identity. It's a delightful piece of work - an intelligent, accessible album that's raw and romantic in equal measure. Peter has written, recorded, produced and marketed The Gemini Cadenza, which features four extended tracks. All have an irresistible sense of purpose, and are subtle enough to command your attention without being too obtrusive. Give yourself a treat and catch up with the Knight shift now.
