This disc, recorded in a single afternoon, is the debut recording from a Birmingham-based improvising trio, who first came together last year. The improvisatory spirit of Tony Levin (the late drummer, rather than the extant bassist) looms large, and not only on the opening track that is explicitly dedicated to his memory. Jozwiak, born in Poland, actually moved to the UK to study with Levin; like Fletcher (born in Birmingham) and Londoner Brice, he has played with Levin’s Mujician bandmate Paul Dunmall. Other names on their collective CV, meanwhile, include Ken Vandermark, Ingrid Laubrock, Iain Ballamy, Tony Bianco and Tony Malaby. But to return to the content, rather than the context: Nick of Time is both engaging and enjoyable, the lack of harmony instrument creating an appealing  sparsity. Variety, meanwhile, is maintained through collective sensitivity and, more specifically, Fletcher’s occasional use of flute.

I've just played this CD for the first time. It is an outstanding album by any standards and
this trio deserves to go a long way in the jazz world. No full-frontal onslaught here but inventive
and subtle playing which should encourage the listener to seek out one of their gigs and
likewise a second album in due course. First class!

This is the debut album by British Jazz trio consisting of saxophonist / flautist Mike Fletcher, bassist Olie Brice and Polish (residing in UK) drummer Tymoteusz Jozwiak. The album presents six original pieces, all co-composed by the three trio members.

Jozwiak arrived in UK to study with the legendary British Jazz drummer Tony Levin, now sadly departed, and stayed on. He met Fletcher and Brice in 2013 and they struck an immediate rapport as musical partners, which led to this recording.

The music is a typical Free Jazz / Improvised Music setting, which presents three individual musicians trying to find a common ground and cooperate sonically in order to create an expression, which is a sum of their individual inputs. Judging by the result they definitely both enjoyed this meeting and managed to produce some excellent music together. Although obviously improvised, the music includes enough melodic contents to keep listeners from beyond the strict avant-garde scene receptive to this music. Fletcher´s playing is remarkably mellow and non aggressive and both Brice and Jozwiak engage with the front soloist constantly and yet manage to remain at least partly in the background, which saves the music from becoming cacophonous. Obviously Fletcher draws most of the listener´s attention, but his playing without the support of his two cohorts would have been most probably much less impressive.

Brice builds up a respected position among the Improvised Music community members in the last few years, appearing on several very strong recording dates, like the trio with Polish saxophonist / clarinetist Mikolaj Trzaska called "Inem Gortn", which should be most interesting to people listening to this album. He is surely a player worth watching in the years to come, following his impressive start-up achievements. Jozwiak is relatively anonymous as of now but, judging by his performances herein, we´ll definitely hear more about him in years to come.

Overall this is an interesting and aesthetically pleasing debut presenting ambitious music, which is definitely worth hearing.

The album was released on the small independent label called Slam Records, which was founded and is operated by British baritone saxophonist George Haslam, and which in the last 25 years released some of the most fascinating avant-garde music recorded on the British Isles.
