Now here's a classy little package. First performed back in 2007 at the Manchester Jazz Festival, it's nice for those who weren't in the sell-out audience to hear what we missed. Thorne - probably best known for his bass work with Lamb, though as mercurial in his musical adventures as Thompson - composed this three-movement suite specifically to feature his mentor.

Mixing contemporary classical and electronica, the composition is awash with lush, looped soundscapes and fragile harp notes that echo into space; I'm reminded by some passages of the more exploratory passages on Jerry Garcia's early solo albums. On top of this, Gilad Atzmom shines with some exquisite sax, whilst John Smith adds the gorgeous guitar vignette, ‘Joanna'.

Of course, the leviathan ploughing the dark undercurrents is Mr Thompson himself; more than fifty years in ‘the biz' and still pushing forward into new waters. Wherever you've come across him throughout his ectectic career, you'll know him as a simply peerless player, and it's all here. Subtle yet commanding and, at times - particularly on ‘Victoria', named after his bass - elemental. Turn it up and the earth will move.
