French saxophonist Robin Fincker and British pianist Kit Downes first collaborated more than two decades ago, before their paths diverged across different corners of Europe. Reuniting in 2023 alongside Irish singer Lauren Kinsella, the trio found a new shared language through the meeting of traditional songs, contemporary poetry and improvisation.
Where Ombres introduced Shadowlands’ exploration of old and new — shedding light on the unheard corners of the past — Two Minds feels like a refinement of that vision. The trio’s shared language has evolved into a free yet dazzlingly clear way of moving between traditional Irish sean-nós songs, contemporary improvisation and original composition. Within that space, a poem by Emily Dickinson, a setting of Maurice Ravel’s Sainte and original material coexist naturally alongside centuries-old folk traditions. Rather than treating traditional songs as fixed historical material, Shadowlands allows them to evolve through improvisation, atmosphere and collective interplay.

‘a breathtaking trio that invents a musical world almost too beautiful to be true…’ Culture Jazz
‘Lauren Kinsella sings folksongs from several ages, and has a powerful yet subtle way of shaping them, providing a framework around which the others can explore freely and go off on voyages of discovery. Kit Downes will always find the astonishing tone colours which lie dormant in an organ, either in a church or in this case a Hammond, and Robin Fincker is a subtle, inventive, thoughtful, classy player.’ Sebastian Scotney, London Jazz News
