Reviews

"A rare breed of pianist, this album is a glory"

Jazz Scene, UK | UK Jazz Scene magazine

"Bold and stylistically varied”

The Modernist, PBS FM | PBS FM

"Wilcock is an engaging pianist and composer. At times his playing brings to mind Thelonious Monk, particularly in the faster bop tracks”

London Jazz News | London Jazz News

“Wilcock’s extreme eclecticism runs from vigorous, sometimes minimalist, free improvisations to rhapsodic solos which will be deeply attractive to the average listener”

Eric Meyers | The Australian
