His debut on the label was with the album Movements in Colour, the recording was a fruitful venture of " Lyrical imagination …and pure Sheppard" as described by the Guardian, later in Trio Libero, an improvisational collective of stellar musicians led by Sheppard, he explored the elasticity of contemporary jazz to new heights and it was described by John Fordham as "masterclass in imparting ambiguity and depth to the smallest sounds – and a remarkable demonstration of how the catchiness of a pop song can be imparted to a tone poem that seems to barely rise above a murmur".
