Early Winter Rec. 
David A Jaycock : The improvised killing of uncle Faustus
and other mythologies (UK,2006)***°
Like on the other Early Winter recording I have heard before (from James Green, with review up), also David A Jaycock’s compositions, or let’s say arranged improvisations, very often come and disappear without leaving a trace, like an inspirational dawn that disappears as soon as it could trace conscious perception. There are moody intros, without a compositionally constructive second or third concluding part, something with which the listener could memorize and give order in his mind with structure to the inspirations. Different from James Green, David A Jaycock has built up more layers of arrangements, with piano, analogue keyboard, harmonium-alike drones/keyboards or harmonica, or some vocals, which are either equally in character more often arranged with volatile, swift brushes, that almost disappear before they catch attention fully for what or where they are, or that are definitely arranged, in thought, like the extra in range non existing strings on the guitar with different tones, or giving extra enriching melody, filmic and moody. Often the pickings are emotionally gifted tunes, rather romantic or semi-baroque, or classical (or slightly semi-Spanish but more classical) in nature.
I have read that David is also part of the Family Players project, of the free-improvising / experimental The Broken Blackbird Ensemble and of psych-rock group Bingo Jesus.
