About Playtime with Norman Willmore
Shetland-born saxophonist Norman Willmore created a big impression with his debut album, Live at the Muckle Roe Hall, in 2021 and has gone on to further acclaim with keyboards master Paul Harrison's organ trio, Team Talk. Here he adds melodic influences from his native Shetland and flavours of Scandinavian and American folk music to the Playtime quartet's zestful creativity.
Formed by saxophonist Martin Kershaw and guitarist Graeme Stephen, with bassist Mario Caribe and drummer Tom Bancroft in 2014, Playtime has given the quartet regular opportunities to try out new ideas, play new compositions and pay homage to jazz giants.
Before the Covid-19 outbreak, they created a real buzz around the Outhouse in Broughton Street's loft space every second Thursday by presenting informal sessions of superb quality. Tributes have been paid to Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny, to name just a few of the heroes whose music the quartet has honoured, and an album of completely free improvisation, showing another side of Playtime, has been released to considerable acclaim.
