about

This album reflects on the transience of life.

The music was composed in response to the passing of my mother in March 2015. It also pays tribute to two giants of the international jazz world, Kenny Wheeler and John Taylor.

It is by far my most personal album to date and is the first to include my own lyrics, in a series of songs and spoken word pieces, here performed by the supreme vocal artistry of Brigitte Beraha.

For this project I decided to return to the stellar bass and drum team of Chris Laurence and Martin France, who appeared on my trio album, Master of the Game in 2009.

Transience also features the superb trumpet and flugelhorn player, Noel Langley, who also co-produced the album.

"Transience is a masterpiece ... Eales should be congratulated and ought to receive much deserved recognition for this deeply moving music"
(4.5 Stars, Budd Kopman - All About Jazz)


"The penultimate number, Remembering Kenny, dedicated to the late Kenny Wheeler, is the centrepiece of the album and is worth the entry price alone" (4 Stars, Roger Farbey - Jazz Journal)
