John Bickerton is a worker in miniatures: he favors little phrases, not simply repeated but re-aired, re-floated, remade in different conjunctions and combinations. Matthew Heyner (bass) and Rashid Bakr (drums) are his able and willing fellow miniaturists. That's not to say that this is soft or restrained music, but simply that when Bickerton heats up, his heat comes from the continuity of his lines, not necessarily from the dynamics of his sound.

John Bickerton: Submerged by Karl Ackermann, published on November 9, 2017. Pianist and composer John Bickerton has been absent from active recording since his 1999 Shadow Boxes (Leo Records). That trio outing established his proficiency at blending lyricism, free jazz and the avant-garde as he had done on his previous release Drinking from the Golden Cup (Loud Neighbors Music, 1997). He returns almost twenty years later with the solo piano release Submerged. Bickerton is a native of Ontario, Canada who had studied with pianist JoAnne Brackeen and he holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Boston University.

John Bickerton is a Brooklyn, NY-based composer and pianist with a background in both classical composition and jazz improvisation. He has recorded jazz trio albums for Leo Lab Records (UK) and for the CIMP (Creative Improvised Music Projects) label. His latest album is entitled Dovecotes on the Simple Harmonic Motion Records label. John’s music blends a melodic lyricism with the type of rhythmic flow heard in free jazz and other open improvisational formats. John has recently completed a choral composition setting of the Latin hymn Ubi Caritas Et Amor. The film features my song "Cortege" from the album "Shadow Boxes" featuring Rashid Bakr, drums, Matthew Heyner, bass, John Bickerton, piano. It is entered in the Best Psychedelic Song/Band category.

Sometimes an artist doesn't need a big canvas on which to work. Miniatures can be just as artistically exacting and just as pleasing to the audience. John Bickerton is a worker in miniatures: he favors little phrases, not simply repeated but re-aired, re-floated, remade in different conjunctions and combinations. Matthew Heyner (bass) and Rashid Bakr (drums) are his able and willing fellow miniaturists.That's not to say that this is soft or restrained music, but simply that when Bickerton heats up, his heat comes from the continuity of his lines, not necessarily from the dynamics of his sound. So on "Answers Not Asked," the opening track, the pianist works through a series of chords at a mid- but unfixed tempo, never reaching a conventional climax but building with his own logic. On "Meeting After Dark," the closing track, he tackles a few quieter motifs, working with the pedals and a steady prod from Bakr. Here he allows the phrases to unfold and the tempo and dynamics to pick up a bit more, all the while still quite skillfully limiting most of his activity to a relatively small area.That makes this music, even at its most percussive, meditative and hypnotic. Fascinating music.All About Jazz Review - 1999
