Album from Mike Walker & Stuart McCallum

The Space Between is the second album by long-term friends & guitarists McCallum and Walker. Following 2014's Beholden, The Space Between is an album that expresses their love of melody and space, their friendship and respect, and the multifarious sounds and timbres that their instrument offers.. featured spacious reimaginings of the guitarists' compositions and jazz standards; the music was serene and elevated. The Space Between finds Stuart and Mike developing extra gravitas, focussing on McCallum originals written especially for the duo. In addition they include two exquisitely chosen standards: Bacharach & David's '' and 'My Ideal', also covered by Sonny Rollins, that sit perfectly in the set, balancing the flow

McCallum and Walker have had the privilege of working with an impressive range of musicians (Stuart with Cinematic Orchestra, Richard Spaven and Slowly Rolling Camera and Mike with Impossible Gentlemen, George Russell and Kenny Wheeler amoung others),  demonstrating the dynamism and musicality that they both have to offer. The Space Between is not just an album documenting a musical  friendship and the love felt for an instrument, it also raises both musicians to a new level and should earn them the respect, profile and greater audiences that their skills and their wide experience demand.
