Click here for reviews of Jonathan's new Italian Trio album, Cream of Mandarins.

"Jonathan Gee isn't usually discussed in the same breath as Django Bates or Julian Joseph among the younger generation of powerful British improvising pianists, but judging by recent performances, notably on the David Murray tour last year, he has blossomed into a performer of flexibility, resourcefulness and technical command to rival any of his generation" - The Guardian

"Reflective, beautifully poised pianist, with the stunning drummer Winston Clifford and bassist Steve Rose " - The Independent

"Depth and maturity...sparky and sensitive... Gee is a compelling pianist, and his debut album is outstanding..(his) incisive improvisatory style is capable of packing a wealth of rhythmic and harmonic ideas into a single phrase. Gee and Rose are two of the most continually inspiring musicians in town." - Time Out

"Gee's band works like the best piano trios, with conversational exchanges between the instruments - he can swing hard with drive, he can be reflective like Bill Evans, and his originals are strong. " - The Guardian

"Meticulously crafted themes contain much thought and originality ..inventive original pianist." - The Evening Standard

"An absorbing programme of originals by Jonathan, this displaying well the remarkable clarity of his own lines and the ability of these particular players to explore the various facets of the tried and tested trio format. As ever, Winston Clifford is quite outstanding." - Jazz UK

"What was particularly striking was the trio's avoidance of the routine. Straight No Chaser and Autumn Leaves were ruthlessly deconstructed, the latter especially, and although far less radical, My One and Only Love had the kind of delicate freshness that a ballad singer might envy." - The Glasgow Herald

"He is one of European jazz's most celebrated musicians… His music is precise, lucid and original, and at times breathtakingly lyrical." - Visions of Britain

"Passionate yet unflashy, Gee hasn't yet achieved their (Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett) technical bravado, but for rhythmic sophistication he's right up there… Listen to their momentum on 'Rathbone Place ', the delicacy of 'Raiders of the Lost Legato', the ingenuity of 'Because' and the lyricism of 'When I Fall In Love'." - London Evening Standard
