Let It Be Told

LET IT BE TOLD JULIAN ARGUELLES Let It Be Told is saxophonist and composer Julian Argüelles' second collaboration with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band on Basho Records, following Momenta. It is his 12th album as leader. The album includes new arrangements of compositions by Dudu Pukwana, Mongezi Feza and Johnny Dyani, and an atmospheric development of Abdullah Ibrahim's much loved composition The Wedding. Since joining Loose Tubes at the age of 20, Argüelles has become an internationally acclaimed and influential musician. His most recent accolades include a Parliamentary Jazz Award nomination for his 2014 album Circularity and a place on the BASCA shortlist for his composition Hocus Pocus. He has worked with a long list of international artists including Hermeto Pascoal, Dave Holland, John Taylor, Kenny Wheeler, John Abercrombie and Bill Frisell. Let It Be Told also emphasises some of these longstanding musical relationships, including with his brother Steve (drums and percussion) and with Django Bates, a pivotal member of Loose Tubes and prominently featured here. The Frankfurt Radio Big Band is a versatile and creative ensemble working across a range of music, from traditional big band jazz to the avant-garde. Soloists here include Heinz Dieter-Sauerborn, Oliver Leicht, Tony Lakatos, Rainer Heute, Peter Feil, Axel Schlosser and Martin Scales. Let It Be Told is a confident and effective collaborative project and an honest, imaginative approach to musical influences.
