Record Collector – Every New Day – Review

The British octet Oriole – a band led by acoustic guitarist and composer Jonny Phillips, and with ubiquitous drummer Seb Rochford in its ranks – return with there third album, Every New Day (**** F-IRE). Subtly fusing jazz with salient Latin elements, they create music that is elegantly understated and at times ravishingly beautiful; the later quality is exemplified by the graceful melancholic opener Levante.
