Fracture is the second studio album by Leeds Jazz-Rock ensemble Roller Trio following the success of their Mercury Prize nominated debut album Roller Trio. It was released in 2014 and in The Guardian John Fordham said [Roller Trio] "have come up with a second album that’s different and diverse, and on a live show it must be a gas".[1] London Jazz News said "This is a marker laid down by a group operating at the vanguard of contemporary jazz."[2] The album received 4 stars in All About Jazz where the reviewer Phil Barnes said "This ability to blend the accessible and the serious, the melodic and the experimental is a real gift".[3]
