To cut this new album tenor saxophonist Stephen Riley brings his quartet from the highly successful previous release “El Gaucho” (SCCD 31682), “ one of my top listening experience of the year ” (Derek Taylor – Bagatellen) back to studio.
“… Playing jazz is not simply about mood, emotion, creativity, it has technical aspects which can be frustrating. But on the Lucky Seven date, Stephen and horn were on song, as a reliable reed did its job to perfection and a further challenging chapter in the musical Life of Riley was written.” (Mark Gardner – from the linernotes)
