Also in this issue prog-jazz power-trio Troyka explain the dystopian sci-fi concepts behind their new album Ornithophobia; Norwegian sax whirlwind Marius Neset blasts off with his latest recording Pinball; and rising UK trumpet star Laura Jurd discusses her fearlessly unique blend of folk, fusion and big ban sounds.
