Jim Quilty of the Daily Star reviewed Acoustic Triangle’s “energetic performance” at al-Bustan:

“Thanks to the musicians who perform them, musical forms – “jazz,” “folk,” “classical” – are permeable things. That doesn’t mean all jazz pianists can be counted on to move through Bach’s “Well-Tempered Clavier” like a hot knife through butter, or that an orchestra’s first violinist could, if pressed, manage a reel. So it’s an all the more pleasant surprise to find a trio inhabiting all these modes with equal comfort.

“That’s what Acoustic Triangle did at their Thursday evening concert at Al-Bustan Festival. This UK ensemble – Creese on double bass, pianist Gwilym Simcock, and Tim Garland on saxophones – are so relaxed with their music, and one another, that the only thing missing from the show was the ego that can accompany performance of this caliber.”
