A wonderful, beneficent and transcendent album, rich in talented personnel, moods, instruments, countries, genres and time signatures. Fave track: 'Snowdrops' with its hypnotic'80s pop guitar ostinato, hauntingly soft saxophone lines and textured vocal by Giulia Marelli. A compassionate and lyrical hymn to renewal. Nylon Man is a masterful collaborative feat of sheer scope and variety. Sumptuous artwork/gatefold CD packaging make a great value purchase.

Been watching you since sunrise Breathing softly, peacefully sleeping there I'm fascinated by your smile What is in your dream Your face is painted in sunlight Chasing shadows, teasing your dreams to life Your secret’s safe in your slumber ’Til your eyes meet mine How long ’til I know what you’re dreaming? Darkness, memories, through the void, come to me The playbook changes in daylight Words are spoken, eyes tell a story too What deal can they be making? When your eyes meet mine New day blossoms before you All the mundane seems like a paradise I’m waiting to adore you When you turn and smile Breathing, waiting for the right moment To discover your hidden feelings Then we choose what to do Been wanting you since sunrise Now this moment finds me alone with you A time belongs in a moment When your eyes meet mine Dancing with you, held in that moment Will we find that all of our dreams come true Dancing with you, held in that moment Are we dreaming or will we find that all of our dreams come true

Shine! San Francisco! Frisco again and again Frisco again and again (repeat) Crossing waters in time With the undercurrents pushing me about To find life out Pulling tidals to the coast Learning what and whom might mean the most To live and love Cloudy dawns and clear sunsets Starts and ends with sums of gives and gets Who knows what happens next? The world is known for many gems Shine! San Francisco! Again! Shine! San Francisco! Frisco again and again Frisco again and again (repeat)

If all of my dreams would come true I’d pick you, and all our friends To live happily, spent our lives Together, in tranquillity Forever Yes I want to live forever, I want to live forever, with you If all of your dreams could come true Who’d you choose? For eternity Who is your deep fantasy, is it me? Or someone else To pleasure you, care for you, look out for you Forever… I want to live forever, just you and me together Our love will keep on growing, I want to live forever… with you If all of my dreams would come true I’d pick you, and all our friends To live happily, spend our lives Together, in tranquillity Forever Will I look back with my heart full of joy or regret ? I guess when its all done and through I’ll be here, waiting to give and treasure you, make love with you, be at peace with you for the rest of our lives Don’t know what more I can give But my heart, forever I want to live forever, just you and me together Our love will keep on growing, I want to live forever I want to live forever, just you and me together our love will keep on growing, I want to live forever… I want to live forever, just you and me together our love will keep on growing, I want to live forever… With you

When I look into your eyes I feel you seeing differently As we reach beyond the wall First sense a fleeting truth we see As we break outside our bond Your ways journeying with me Savour scent, olfactory tale Of home familiarity We're here in the heart of now Fear not what has taken leave Tomorrow may come along But do not fear, I'll be here For our trust our fledgling love We’re delving into life and grow When I look, out through your eyes Two hearts as one identity

My Kinda 04:32
I can see that you’re my kinda I can see that you could tilt my world For my world within you resolves I can see that you’re my kinda I can feel that you’d consume my mind For my world without you dissolves Do I control the meanings? Do I hold back these feelings? Am I to try and quell this? Will I ever survive this fall? Bright skies, no more lies, I’ve fallen into you Firm ground, comfort found, my footsteps are true Like clouds, light clouds, my heart soars for you Happiness, feeling blessed, only to wake Oh this dream, in this dream Where it seems we were free once more Where in parts we’re deceived Into dancing for ever more Yes this dream, oh this dream Where it seemed we were free once more But we find that we’ve declined Into dark and deceitful dreams are finite

Snowdrops 05:59
Snow Drops and the winter flakes
Make the season so fulfilling
Warming my heart and my mind
Just as well, when the wind bites cold  See, white drops, in the air and on the ground  Delicately doing their best We can feel their dappled glow
Invigorating all they come to rest on, so you   Try to, catch one in your hand Look but its gone in an instant
Careful not to crush the leaves
Hidden in the snow Peeping through softly  Angels dancing in the haze Wrapped up warm my heart is pumping  Flowers of the earth and air
Paired in my mind are the tiny pixies we call Snowdrops and their cousin flakes
Warming my heart during hardship
Snow flakes dancing from on high  Feel they're heaven sent
Hope and simple beauty

Beautiful 05:39
You are beautiful
I feel that we belong
I long to give you all you need You are wonderful
I know we can't be wrong
I long to give you all I have Free from fear, free from pain  Full of love, deserved we gain Happiness, take my hand I'm ready are you ready now You enchanted me
I stumbled, I fell
Be brave, my heart knew you were for me When you smile at me
I'm filled with endless pride
I want to give you my word, this ring Free from fear, free from pain Full of love, deserved we gain  Happiness, take my hand  I'm ready are you ready now Love past a flame extinguished Hurt, I loved too soon You are beautiful
I feel that we belong
I long to give you all you need

One Million Children We are watching you We are hearing you When we feel for you Love is all around When we pray for you Meditate for you Move our hearts as one Peace is all around We are watching you We are hearing you When we feel for you Love is all a.. Peace is a.. Love is all around Crush us into tiny spaces Sweat is pouring off our faces Jam us into fear and hating Noses twitching hesitating Block out people who don’t fit Our self image can’t cope with shit Building walls and concrete fences Electrifying differences Hiding beyond our compound eyes Fragment the world and fabricate disguise Our fear, convinced we all are victims here Empowering ourselves with poppy tinted spectacles Can we teach ourselves to see beyond our selfie sticks? Can we huff and puff and blow down our house built of prejudice bricks? Can we rise? Can we rise? Can we rise? Can we shed the scales for our eyes? Can we surprise our hearts and ambush our pride? Yes One million One million One million One million Yes to truth that isn’t certain Yes the words that twitch the curtains Yes to lies that express love unsaid Yes to fictions that comfort the living and mask the dead Yes to flattery that brings blushes to old women’s cheeks Yes to paints and powders, body shapers and wigs that hide widows peaks Yes to confection, decoration, perfume and cherry lip gloss Yes to fluffy handcuffs and bad prose Yes to misuse of dental floss Yes to imperfection and best guess measurements that lead to breakthroughs Yes to the ozone molecules that tell us the black light of space is blue Yes to stories that fill hearts and stop us thinking of our empty bellies Yes to lies we knit using patterns we improvise, cross stitching yarns, warping waves and particles, weaving paradoxes with every breath One million One million One million Children We are watching you We are hearing you When we feel for you Love is all around When we pray for you Meditate for you Move our hearts as one Peace is all around - (rpt) - We are watching you We are hearing you When we feel for you Love is all around When we pray for you Meditate for you Move our hearts as one Love is all a Peace is all a Love is all around

NYLON MAN is the new album by saxophonist-keyboardist-arranger-composer Aaron Liddard, released on 7th October on the British independent label Havis House.

Featuring a plethora of guest contributions from the likes of Carleen Anderson, Omar Puente and Miss Baby Sol, Nylon Man is 12 tracks of jazz by a UK-based artist.

In his prolific and wide-ranging career, saxophonist-keyboardist-arranger-composer Aaron Liddard has contributed to many different musical experiences including working with Amy Winehouse, Prince, and Maceo Parker, and in genres ranging from hip hop and rock to Latin music and gospel. But jazz has always been the closest music to his heart. “Jazz is the only living musical art-form that is not defined by its exclusions,” says Aaron. “At its truest, jazz is an evolving aural tradition. As a musician with myriad musical influences, jazz is the only home that allows me to fully explore.”

Nylon Man is named after the three cities that most influenced Aaron (New York, London and Manchester). The album was 12 years in the making and a summation of Liddard’s career to this point.

Forty two musicians appear on this project, which encompasses musical traditions of UK, USA, South America, Africa, Cuba, and The Caribbean.

Aaron Liddard sums up his new release which defines his career up to this point. “Nylon Man is how I hear music and its possibilities. I hope that listeners will be happily surprised by what they experience.”


“All of Aaron Liddard’s music is beautiful” - Flora Purim

"Together Forever is a veritable jazz version of Romeo and Juliet, this band is essential listening" - Blues & Soul magazine
