Reception

In Deep received universally good reviews. In The Guardian , John Fordham said "Lockheart picked the right title: that's exactly where it takes you" and awarded it 4 stars. [1] In All About Jazz , John Kelman wrote "The line-up may suggest mainstream, but this is no straight-ahead session...As impressive as Lockheart was on Moving Air, his playing has become even more muscular, combining the late Michael Brecker's visceral power with his own kind of tension-and-release." [2] The Yorkshire Post wrote "Lockheart's work nods to Coltrane and Michael Brecker, but he's firmly his own man." [3] Ray Comiskey in the Irish Times drew attention to Lockheart's skills in utilising the talents of his band "Lockheart’s voicings (using some brass overdubbing) have a fine appreciation of the tonal qualities the players bring to the table". [4] Ian Mann said the album was a "strong candidate for Lockheart's best work to date". [5] Lockheart was interviewed in Jazzwise in June 2009, where he explained that the title of the album described how improvising is about connecting with another musician at a very deep level. [6]
