[ Rattle Jazz / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 18 August 2017
Recorded live in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the CJC jazz club in Auckland at the end of their 2015 tour, Reuben Bradley (drums), Dixon Nacey (guitar), and American bass playing legend David Friesen deliver a 70 minute set of full-on contemporary jazz.
It's rare to find musicians who are gifted band-leaders, perceptive team-players, skilled performers and composers roilled into one, but David Friesen manages it all with seemingly effortless aplomb. His music is vital and engaging, and these recordings literally crackle with creative energy.
