John Bickerton

Drinking From the Golden Cup

This album brings an hour of original compositions by Bickerton, and refreshing ones at that. Almost all the tracks bespeak a thoughtful musical intelligence, full of angular beauty. ‘Snowfall,’ for instance, begins almost somberly, but with the introduction of percussion and bass, the mood shifts to peaceful – and shifts again, constantly conjuring up new scenes. Bickerton is quietly in control throughout. Bostonia Magazine

John Bickerton’s songs tell stories. Expansive, edgy, romantic, singing, are all (often simultaneous) descriptions of this music. As a guidepost, I’d say the group is somewhat comparable in temperament to Keith Jarrett’s American Quartet. A very accomplished tight-knit group. All tunes are original and carefully developed tales. Together they form a satisfying whole. Highly recommended.” — Hard Bop Cafe
