(Velika Britanija)
Nominiranka za britansko nagrado Mercury, trobentačica in skladateljica Laura Jurd, je predstavnica izjemnega mladega vala britanskih glasbenikov, ki je z ekspresnim vlakom postavila točke festivalskega zemljevida, od oddaljenega Montreala prek norveškega Moldeja do North Sea Jazz Festivala. Pet zvezdic v Guardianu za njen prvenec Together, As One je samo za okus njene barvite glasbe, polne domišljije in presenečenj bodisi v srečevanju jazza s synth popom ali z infuzijami folkovskih melodij skozi ljubeče improvizacije, kar lahko slišimo na drugem albumu Wonder Trail. Mladi dinozavri bodo tokrat bruhali ogenj okrepljeni s staro drugodbeno znanko, basistko Ruth Goller (Melt Yourself Down, Rokia Traoré).
Laura Jurd, trobenta; Elliott Galvin, klavir; Ruth Goller, bas; Corrie Dick, bobni
“The difficulty of describing Dinosaur’s music is one of the great things about them: their sound is genuinely new […] There are echoes of earlier British electronica in Dinosaur’s sound, going all the way back to Soft Machine and – more recently – bands like Goldfrapp and Broadcast. But their music has a distinctive style of its own.” LONDON JAZZ NEWS
