With just himself and a piano, McCreadie delves into the raw essence of musical creation, inviting listeners into an intimate space of improvisational artistry.
Drawing inspiration from the hallowed ground where jazz icon Keith Jarrett once left his indelible mark, “Sketches” is a captivating exploration of musical expression, nuance, and hypnotic allure. Each note is meticulously crafted, weaving a tapestry of emotions that range from the lilting to the evocative, creating a melodious narrative that resonates deeply with the soul.
One of the EP’s standout moments is the inclusion of “Glade,” a hauntingly beautiful composition originally featured on McCreadie’s Mercury-shortlisted album, “Forest Floor.” This track propelled Fergus McCreadie into the stratosphere of creative, improvising jazz artists, garnering him well-deserved acclaim and attention.
“Sketches” is a testament to Fergus McCreadie’s extraordinary talent and his ability to transport listeners into a world of pure, unadulterated piano music. With this EP – his first ever solo recording – he continues to push the boundaries of his artistry, inviting us to join him on a mesmerising journey through the depths of musical expression.
