Green and Pleasant Land finds Michael Garrick turning the English landscape into chamber jazz, writing for a luminous string-based group with piano at its centre. Across live performances from the early 2000s, he folds folk melody, hymn fragments and knotty improv into quietly radical miniatures that make the countryside feel haunted, restless and very much alive.

Pianist /composer Michael Garrick leads his unique string quartet - made up of guitarist Dominic Ashworth, bassist Paul Moylan and his son Chris Garrick on violin, across a programme of original compositions and standards. Recorded live in 2002, at the Little Missenden Festival and Berkamsted Jazz Society.
