Seamus Blake Quintet: Live At Smalls
 | Label: smallsLIVE Catalog: SL0008 Format: CD Seamus Blake, Tenor Saxophone; Lage Lund, Guitar; Dave Kikoski, Piano; Matt Clohesy, Bass; Bill Stewart, DrumsSubertfuge (Seamus Blake) / Amuse Bouche (Seamus Blake) / Consequence (Seamus Blake) / Stranger In Paradise (Wright/Forrest) / Fear Of Rooming (Seamus Blake) Seamus Blake, the Canadian-born tenor player, has been garnering an estimable reputation as a hard-edged modernist. He is a member of the award winning group The Bloomdaddies which he describes as “ a funky, alternative grunge jazz band”. For this live date he brings pianist David Kikoski, drummer Bill Stewart and guitarist Lage Lund, who is a real discovery and seems destined for guitar-hero status. The music is fresh and original with one standard “Stranger In Paradise” which gets treated in a sensitive, yet unconventional fashion. This is an exciting and original live project and one well worth listening to.  Price: $16.98 |
