Gareth Lockrane - Big Band- Box of Tricks (2025) [Official Digital Download]

For Gareth Lockrane, music is inseparable from community. His reputation as a flautist, composer and arranger ensures that he’s in constant demand for a wide range of top-end musical projects, from international touring stars to Hollywood movie soundtracks, but he’s equally renowned for his dedication to education and mentorship, teaching at all the London conservatoires and supporting emergent voices. It’s an attitude of total engagement that somehow also includes time for a constant process of exploring, writing and arranging his own music. The Gareth Lockrane Big Band has been the vehicle for that music since the band’s formation in2008. Following on from their 2017 debut Fistfight At The Barn Dance the new album Box Of Tricks was honed on the bandstand and recorded in a single day in Livingston Studio. It presents the all-star band romping through a set of original compositions that effortlessly blend the sincerity and freedom of improvisation with an intricacy of detail and precision of delivery that delights and astonishes at every turn. “I love writing for an ambitious project like this that’s big enough to combine all my favourite influences, and I never get over the thrill of a big band roaring away with the unique voices of the soloists shaping the music – it never gets old.” says Gareth.
