Tom Skinner's "Voices Of Bishara": A Deep Dive + Review!
Is it ever too late to discover your voice? For Tom Skinner, the answer resoundingly is no, as evidenced by the release of his debut solo album, "Voices of Bishara," in November 2022, a culmination of two decades immersed in London's vibrant alternative jazz scene.
Skinner's journey to this point has been anything but conventional. While "Voices of Bishara" marks a new chapter, it is one deeply informed by his extensive experience as a drummer, composer, and producer. He's been a linchpin in London's burgeoning underground music scene for the past 20 years, collaborating with a diverse range of artists, from Matthew Herbert and Mulatu Astatke to his pivotal role in Sons of Kemet and, more recently, as a member of The Smile, alongside Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood. This wealth of collaboration has undoubtedly shaped his artistic vision, leading him to finally explore his own unique sonic territory. The album's release on November 4, 2022, via Nonesuch Records, International Anthem Recording Company, and Brownswood Recordings, was met with critical acclaim, solidifying its place among the best jazz albums of the year. Chris May noted on November 8, 2022, that Skinner had been a "vital presence" for two decades leading up to this remarkable debut.
