The Guardian

With last year's Molde Concert solo set, and this spring's duet with pianist Dave Stapleton, the former Perrier jazz award winner Matthew Bourne showed us his iconoclastic qualities - he could almost be the British John Zorn - and his pianistic independence as a largely abstract improviser. Lost Something, however, is much jazzier, at times painting him as a 21st-century Thelonious Monk. Bourne is partnered here by bassist Dave Kane and drummer Steven Davis, and the breathtaking virtuosity of all three performances - in or out of conventional tunes and grooves - is comparable to some of the famous odysseys of Cecil Taylor's groups, with Bourne's stingingly precise phrasing giving shape and clarity to even the most torrentially seamless episodes. Annette Peacock's Kid Dynamite is a Tayloresque tumble; Carla Bley's Donkey (the best track) has an abstract boogie feel that gets increasingly Monkish; and Round Midnight gradually unfolds the famous melody in spacey treble tinkles, eventually developing it in sonorous chords but with squeaky-hinge and crying-baby sounds beneath. Lost Something is a set that should help confirm this trio's world-class status to a wider audience - it's modern music in the most meaningful sense.

The Independant

For free-jazz pianists, following Cecil Taylor and Keith Tippett must be like trying to paint Mont Saint-Victoire after Cézanne.

Matthew Bourne, in a trio with Dave Kane and Stephen Davis, sounds best when there's still an identifiable jazz context to his playing or when the tune itself carries weight, as in a version of "Round Midnight" – though Monk didn't do psychodrama, as Bourne does here. Oddly, pieces by Annette Peacock, Carla Bley and John Surman are rather thrown away, while originals such as Davis's "Melt" and "De Selby's Earth" have both point and swing.
