A rare Scottish appearance from a London-based quartet with a reputation for absorbing live work opens a brand new season of weekly gigs from the admirably go-ahead Jazz Aberdeen. Featuring Phil Robson's direct, cultured guitar playing and saxophonist/bass clarinettist Julian Siegel's variously tough and lyrical approaches over a supple, compact rhythm section, Partisans embrace New York heat, European reflection and free-spirited adventure in a style that builds on the Mahavishnu Orchestra's tight collective tradition and can change gears in a heartbeat.
