Dense textures and cyclical figures are the ground for the soloists, but the group’s great appeal is very much its ensemble sound. Saxophonist Andy Sheppard has just released his second album, and, as anyone who was at his last concert here will tell you, plays with a refreshing energy, and an innovative, convoluted melodic sense in one of the tightest groups in Britain.
