Julie Sassoon Quartet: Voyages
by Mike Jurkovic
As on a high speed, downhill slalom chase, listeners are suddenly, nakedly and without poles hurled into “Missed Calls"; the opening burst of sublime energy and groupthink cracks Voyages wide open, sets the mad, determined pace and tone for a craftily organic, six-song, free-jazz adventure which never lets up.

Julie Sassoon: If You Can't Go Outside...Go Inside
by Mike Jurkovic
As we've learned time and time again throughout this sick year, 2021, not many humans are ready to completely surrender themselves for the good of their fellow kind. So it's truly a beautiful thing when Berlin based pianist Julie Sassoon surrenders so completely to her instrument and the moment that, like a medium, reveals mysteries to ...
Julie Sassoon: If You Can't Go Outside...Go Inside
by Dan McClenaghan
American novelist and short story writer Stephen King has said that he thinks his stories are “found things, like fossils in the ground...relics, part of an undiscovered pre-existing world." He goes on to say that, as a writer, it is his job to reveal as much of this fossil as he can. Interesting, and maybe true. ...
Frances Shelley: A Place That Exists
by Duncan Heining
Pianist Frances Shelley's third solo album, A Place That Exists, is an intriguing, atmospheric collection. Though she describes her approach as “neo-classical," Shelley might equally be described as an instant composer. Classically-influenced, she has for some years explored the potential for bringing that influence together with improvisation and electronics, with her musical partner Matthew Bickerton.

Julie Sassoon
British pianist/composer Julie Sassoon is classically trained on piano and violin. She graduated in music and fine art in 1988, winning prizes for her classical piano performances and later completed postgraduate studies in jazz piano and Indian violin.
She came to the attention of critics and audiences in 2000, when she formed the remarkable ‘Azilut!’ trio with drummer Bart van Helsdingen and reeds player Lothar Ohlmeier, praised as ‘capable of miracles’ by the Guardian.
Whether touring with Max Richter’s ’Piano Circus’, opening Berlin’s prestigious contemporary music festival, Maerzmusik with Julius Eastman’s 4-piano works or playing solo at the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg, the London Jazz Festival, the Royal Festival Hall with the legendary band Oregon or with Enrico Pieranunci, collaborating with Israeli singer Efrat Alony, trumpeter Tom Arthurs and drummer, master of free improvisation Willi Kellers, Julie Sassoon’s musical versatility takes her world-wide.

Julie Sassoon, Willi Kellers: Waves
by John Eyles
Although pianist Julie Sassoon's first recording—the trio Azilut!'s To the Power of Three (Babel)—was released in 2001, the intervening years have not seen a stream of albums from her; in fact, her releases to date can be counted on two hands. However, in Sassoon's case quantity is far less important than the variety and quality of ...
