Press Reviews:

"For anyone seeking the cutting edge of contemporary British jazz — composed, improvised, and deeply considered — Shapeshifter is an essential listen.” 5/5 UK Vibe

"a compellingly varied 11-track set joining rhythmically ingenious minimalism, funky hooks, dreamy ambient sounds over arco bass drones, three freely-improvised pieces, and much more.” John Fordham UK Jazz

"Lockheart plays brilliantly again, loose and deep, and always full of emotion. In Williams and Davis, he has a fantastic rhythm tandem that maneuvers fascinatingly alongside him. From the title track (and band name) that opens the album to the album closer, Strawberry Moon, a wealth of jazz flows through, utterly captivating and growing with each listen.” Written In Music

"This is a brilliant record from a fine trio led by a UK jazz giant.” Jez Nelson One Jazz

"This fine, fresh combination makes for an enjoyable listen throughout.”Jazzwise

"This is without doubt one of my favourite albums so far this year” Jazz Views

"Shapeshifter" conjures vivid images in the mind's eye and offers listening pleasure to both jazz and rock fans.” BR Klassik

"I've loved Mark's playing since his early recordings...You really hear his lyrical tone facility and musicality in this track.”  Soweto Kinch BBC Radio 3
