| Wallace Roney Headline Show Adds Special Opener at The Hudson Valley Jazz Festival On Sunday August 30, 7 PM, The Hudson Valley Jazz Festival presents a specially priced double bill show. The Wallace Roney Group and Andy Ezrin / Adam Nussbaum / David Finck. The Sugar Loaf Performing Arts Center, pavilion will be home to this great performance. Ezrin is a composer, pianist, picked by Chris Botti and has been the keyboard player for several years. His unique style and flair for composition places him amongst today's ground breaking pianists. Adam Nussbaum is considered one of the finest drummers working today. He's played with a virtual "Who's Who" in the jazz world. Longtime associates have included: John Abercrombie, Michael & Randy Brecker, Eliane Elias, Gil Evans, Stan Getz, Vic Juris, James Moody, John Scofield, Joe Sample, Ohad Talmor, 'Toots' Thielemans, Kenny Wheeler & NHØP, as well as freelancing with prominent artists of every generation, being a major asset no matter where he appears. Music can only be described with words, but for David Finck, music is a language all its own. "I hear music as a spoken language, " he says. "When I listen, I'm conscious of the breaths that are taken during a phrase; I hear the vocabulary, the inflection, and the syntax. I listen for all of it."It's a statement that makes sense given David's skills as a bassist and the diverse artists he has played and recorded with – among them; Dizzy Gillespie, Aretha Franklin, Sinead O'Connor, Natalie Cole, Rod Stewart, Herbie Hancock, Ivan Lins, Al Jarreau, Tony Bennett, Paquito D'Rivera, George Michael, Rosemary Clooney and Andre Previn, to name just a few. write your comments about the article :: © 2015 Jazz News :: home page |
