It’s the command and authority of Lockheart’s saxophone that first strikes home on In Deep – magisterial, confident with maybe just hints of those two great tenor titans – Michael Brecker and Joe Henderson. Then the sheer quality of the writing hits you – these are tunes once heard not forgotten. And then the power, confidence and commitment of his group grabs you by the coat and you know they’ve got you.

‘Saxophonist Lockheart (Loose Tubes, Polar Bear) has been an excellent player in an over crowded sector for ages, but this new quintet’s gimmick-free collection of 12 strong originals moves him close to the top of the class’. – Independent on Sunday
