"A trio capable of rivalling EST or The Bad Plus
for sheer excitement...Cairn doesn't so much play jazz with a broad Scottish accent as smother
it with Glasgow kisses. Rock on." MOJOUK
Cairn is the highly anticipated follow-up to Fergus' debut and despite all the hype this new
album is gaining, he delivers in spades. Cairn is an album inspired by the tradition and
landscape of his native Scotland. It declares itself with an energetic freshness of sound and
originality reminiscent of the dynamism and personality with which the likes of piano trios The
Bad Plus and EST emerged almost two decades ago.
Responding to the circumstances of a
vastly changed era, Fergus and his trio, with their profoundly mesmerising and compelling music,
look set to evoke similar trajectories in progressing to the global stage. They certainly have
the necessary instrumental command, musical maturity, sophisticated communication and native
originality to do so.
