Cellist / Composer Ivan Hussey releases 'The Jazz Sessions’, the 10th album under the artist name Celloman. Performed by a trio of cellists, the music is a collection of original Jazz compositions with the warmth and depth of 3 cellos. From the cheeky ‘Tango Through’ to the Grappelli-esqe ‘A Touch Tipsy’ and the beautifully melodic ‘Dark Wine’ - “…a fine reminder of the emotional power of the cello” - All About Jazz.

In the second half, the trio return to perform a collection of tracks taken from previous Celloman albums with new arrangements mashing North African grooves, Flamenco melodies, chill out tapestries and haunting melodies that “blend jazz, world and classical musics in a strikingly natural way… - Evening Standard.
