From the producers: “One of the most compelling new voices on the Canadian jazz scene today, baritone saxophonist Shirantha Beddage teams up with stellar sidemen Dave Restivo (piano), Mike Downes (bass) and Mark Kelso (drums) in a high-octane hour of original music from their JUNO-nominated CD, Identity. Always unique and distinctive, Beddage’s hip grooves and powerful, modern hard bop are infused with gospel and blues and draw inspiration from jazz legends ranging from Coltrane and Rollins to Evans, Monk and Corea.” | |||
