About this album
Ray Guntrip: Bio
OUT OF THE BLUE THE INSIDE STORY
Out of the blue is the debut CD of a prolific but, until now, little-known British jazz composer. Well-established on the local jazz scene in his native Kent, Ray Guntrip has more than two hundred compositions to his name. Out of the Blue features the cream of his tunes played by some of the UK’s leading musicians. The enthusiastic involvement of two influential figures on the music scene in bringing Ray’s work to a wider audience is itself a testimony to the quality of the music it celebrates.
The catalyst for the project was Gary Barnacle, sometime tenor-sax player with Tina Turner and
Level 42, as well as a host of big-name bands from Jamiroquai to David Bowie, the Clash and Phil Collins. He was prompted to suggest a recording project after playing a number of gigs with Ray’s band, Green Machine. Gary also spotted an additional, and for Ray, unexplored potential: the addition of lyrics.
An inspired recommendation brought Ray together with Tina May, a vocalist with an international reputation, whose recent projects with the legendary pianist Ray Bryant and Bobby Watson, showcased her skills as both world-class lyricist and singer. Impressed with the strength of Ray’s compositions, Tina added words that give an added dimension to the widely contrasting moods of eighteen of his tunes, nine of which are on this CD, from the tongue-twisting Be-Bop - I Gotta Get Away From You! to the rocking He’s Mr Twister and anarchic intensity of Demons Dancing.
