about

"Most jazz clarinettists in Britain play in traditional front lines, so it's refreshing to find the young Dunstan Coulber leading his own quartet in Standards For A New Century. His style too has little in common with the earliest jazz clarinettists and the cool tone at first recalls Ellingtonian Jimmy Hamilton or the slightly younger Tony Scott. However Coulber digs into the rhythm with a little more bite than those two men, ably aided here by John Pearce at the piano and Nik Preston and Steve Brown on bass and drums. The standards which make up most of the programme are not over-familiar and allow Coulber to demonstrate an approach which may owe a little to Benny Goodman but is mainly his own. Most young musicians these days seem to turn automatically to the music of John Coltrane and Coulber deserves great credit for showing that jazz from pre-Coltrane eras can still provide fertile soil for the development of a personal style."
— Graham Colombé, Amazon (UK

"...the next king of swing?" — Jack Massarik, Evening Standard

"I'm very impressed ... sparse melodic playing.« — Humphrey Lyttleton

This is the second release of clarinetist Dunstan Coulber. Cool swinging jazz standards played by a » … fine swing-to-bop clarinetist.« — Jazz UK
