"GROOVEYARD UNPLUGGED"
From late 2014 onwards i have been experimenting with a more acoustic version of my group "Grooveyard". It was a traditional organ-guitar-tenor-flute-drums lineup but i started to miss the presence of an actual bass and the freedom and variety that it brings. So a new band was born! We're reinterpreting my older tunes and i've also got a batch of new tunes on the go for this new lineup.
Also featuring Alex Garnett (saxes) Ross Stanley (piano/organ) Dave Whitford (bass) and Tim Giles (drums), i have to say an incredibly inspiring combination of musicians to write for and play with. Here are some gig films!
Recorded at the Forge, Camden on Nov 16th 2014. As part of the EFG London Jazz Festival.
Recorded, filmed and edited by Dan Redding.
