 Polar Bear : Features : One Final Note
Polar Bear is led from the back by its drummer and composer Sebastian Rocheford, who has just been awarded the BBC's Rising Jazz Star award.
The latter quality is heard in the music when, while a saxophone exposes a deliberately-paced and affecting main theme, key details and extensions are hidden away in the bassline or in a cello accompaniment.
The members of Polar Bear are part of a collective called F-ire, which is attempting to broaden perceptions of the UK scene, too often seen as consisting solely of irreconcilable radical free improvisation and staid mainstream.

Beloved by children, the The Polar Express holds a special appeal for adults as well, who see themselves in the character of the young boy and remember their own childhood excitement and anticipation on that one most important night of the year.
Perhaps they also remember the moment when the first shadowy doubts crept into their own young hearts and they realized that growing up might mean losing something precious and intangible forever, something they couldn't quite define but they could certainly feel.
The Polar Express is about that moment, that crucial juncture of innocence and maturity where a child can choose one path that will close his heart forever or another, where he learns that faith has no age, no rules and no limits.
