'Curve repays attentive listening with something new everytime'. Barry Witherden, BBC Music Magazine

Curve, is the second release by Australian pianist Spence, and Canadian born ex-pat Joe Williamson, and Christopher Cantillo from Sweden.

The trio first met in 2009 when Spence was invited to play at the Vilnius Jazz Festival. Since then, they have performed in 2011, 2013, and 2015, in Sweden, Norway, and the UK, as a trio, and with sax players Raymond MacDonald (Scotland), and Daniel Rourke (Australia).

‘Whether drawing on the innovations of pianist Cecil Taylor – especially Taylor’s percussive approach to his instrument – or the free-floating abstractions of improvising units such as the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, the trio’s music burns with low-level intensity, full of drama and subliminal urgency. Despite its demands, Curve pays unequivocal rewards with repeated listening.’ Des Cowley, Dingo Journal Issue 3 Autumn 2022
