BBC double-award winner Tony Kofi joins Chris Biscoe in an exploration of the musical legacies of the extraordinary bassist, composer and bandleader Charles Mingus, and of reeds virtuoso Eric Dolphy. Featuring arrangements specially developed for this quartet, the repertoire includes music written by Eric Dolphy and pieces by Oliver Nelson, Fats Waller and Monk which he also recorded. The first record by the band, Gone in the Air was released on Trio Records in June 2008, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of Eric Dolphy's birth.
"They turned in one blistering solo after another within ensemble passages of impeccable cohesion, the hallmark of the highest quality chamber-jazz." - Ivor Widdison, Jazz UK, Scene and Heard
