about

Two outstanding characters from the vibrant British jazz scene in intimate and lively musical conversation.

Big Visit marks the beginning of an exciting musical partnership between Emma Rawicz and Gwilym Simcock. The album features original compositions by Emma and Gwilym, written specifically for their collaboration, as well as arrangements of their favorite titles like "You've Changed" and "Visions". Their chemistry and shared passion for music unfold across every track and the title of the album reflects the free-spirited nature of their recording process.


This album is a special one for us—the genesis of a musical connection that we’re sure will be long-lasting and fruitful. There’s no better way to begin and develop a musical relationship than in a duo setting, and you can hear this connection blossoming throughout the album in real time.
We both contributed music, specially written for each other, as well as two tunes that we just love to play: “You’ve Changed” and “Visions.” Creating and developing this music together has been an exciting and fulfilling process, drawing upon a shared love of the many influences that shaped both of our early musical lives, while also exploring new and different spaces for each of us.
The joy inherent in making music is central to our approach, and our recording date was filled with creativity and freedom. (Indeed, plenty more music was recorded, and we hope to present this to you in the future!) The title “Big Visit” represents the freewheeling abandon we experienced while recording, and we hope you find something special and engaging in this music each time you listen. Enjoy!
- Emma & Gwilym
