  ‘A brilliant young pianist.’ The Guardian
  
  We are delighted to announce the release of The Still Point Of The Turning World, the mesmerizing new album by British jazz pianist, Paul Edis.
  
  Written over the course of the last year and recorded in a day at Masterchord Studios in London, The Still Point Of The Turning World is the work of a virtuoso musician meticulously constructing his very own transcendent universe, one that sits apart from everything else going on in the world.
  
  “There’s a certain meditative quality to The Still Point Of The Turning World,” Edis explains. “Compositions like Start Over, Dig Deep and The Way You Make Me Feel are a mixture of reflection, sadness and love. There’s been so much sadness and loss around whilst working on this record, it’s hardly surprising that it sounds so reflective.
  
  “I’ve really tried to tap into the emotional resonance of each composition. It can take a certain amount of time for emotions to filter through before you process them and eventually turn them into music. When I write, the process often starts with a kind of mood that’s almost a meditation in itself.”
  
  Nobody sounds quite like him or transports you to the places he travels to with his music. Simultaneously soothing and stirring, rapturous yet relaxed, at times the melodies almost appear to become subservient to the mood on this dreamlike album. With an unmistakable style that sounds like the missing link between Bill Evans, Brad Mehldau and Claude Debussy, he plays without a trace of bombast or affectation.
  
  “The more accomplished you are as a musician, the more you realise that chops and technical demonstrations don’t necessarily say that much. I’m always trying to find the most elegant, simple message in the music. Simple is not the same as simplistic. Picasso could paint incredible things, but he didn’t need to use his technical ability to articulate his emotions.
  
  “This is the first album where I have really been in control of myself, both technically and creatively. I’ve always tried to get to the emotional essence of the music, but it feels like something new and exciting has happened with this record.”
  
  The Still Point Of The Turning World is an achingly beautiful, impressionistic album that washes over you like a wave of emotion and wells up from places Wordsworth deemed ‘too deep for tears.’
