Between the Lines was a defining statement in Dave Stapleton’s early career—an album that established him as a distinctive composer with a strong sense of form, emotion, and narrative. The writing is bold and lyrical, driven by rhythmic intensity and melodic clarity, placing the Dave Stapleton Quintet at the centre of a rising generation in UK jazz.

This record laid the foundation for Stapleton’s creative path, shaping his approach as both an artist and a producer. Its spirit and sound continue to resonate through his wider work today, including his role as the founder of Edition Records.

‘Stapleton has developed his own music full of melody, atmosphere and tough grooves. Ben Waghorn and Jonny Bruce shine on the front line, but the real achievement is one of compositional and ensemble rigour’. – MOJO

'Between the Lines is full of subtle surprises. The sound-world, tinged with Fender-Rhodes silveriness, is distinctive. And the solo playing is very classy indeed' - Telegraph (Ivan Hewitt)
