ashen 非常喜欢这张专辑，谢谢Emma。这些歌曲像是篝火，聆听时能感受到温暖。 Favorite track: Hold Me Tight.

PlayItLoud! Great talent on the Sax with equal support Favorite track: Worry Not.

cyclefreak Brilliant modern jazz. Many people can play musical instruments. Few can breathe life and emotion into that instrument. Emma Johnson does this: Don't just hear it; feel it.

simeymoonbeam emotionally and intellectually engaging

about

Worry Not is the debut from Leeds based cinematic quintet, Emma Johnson's Gravy Boat.

Emma's writing is inspired by cinematic scores as well as a wide range of jazz from hard bop to modern tenor/guitar led quintets, and this combines to create compositions that evoke imagery and emotions for the listener. The album combines strong melodies with improvised sections that give each member of the group space to shine.

As an album, Worry Not tackles themes of stress and worry and the process of overcoming those things to find a sense of calm. The imagery uses a lake setting and various weathers as a parallel to the coming and going of these emotions and the whole album is a cathartic listening experience, inspired by a place where Emma is at her most worry-free.

Written after a house flood and on the brink of the pandemic, the album (and the year awaiting it's creation) encapsulate a process of having worries, acknowledging and dealing with them, and allowing them to wash away.

Worry Not is produced with thanks to Help Musicians, the Peter Whittingham Award and a whole host of brilliant Kickstarter backers.

Maybe one of the best minimalistic cinematic music around... Sometimes the clarinet tears your heart, as the deep piano bass makes you climb down the "Spiral stairs" which makes you fall into some cotton dreams just before you get in a "Floating World", while the beat transform your thought "Into sparks"... A must have. Can't wait for the other LP... Did I said thank you to you guys ?... Stéphane Delapierre
