Dave Mattacks- Audio Samples
Sing The Line (685K)
"Sing The Line" is DM's
first recording with pianist John Donaldson and double-bass player Andrew
Cleyndert - it's also his first time on a project not as a "side-man"!
The material showcases John Donaldsons' great writing and includes other
material from Kenny Werner, Bill Evans and Benny Golson among others.
SeptPiece (640K)
"SeptPiece"
grew from the trio nucleus to include Andy Panayi on Saxes and Chris
Garrick on Violin, with Prabjote Osahn and Rebecca Ware on Violin and
Viola respectively. John again contributed some great tunes along with
material from such diverse sources as Frank Zappa, Thelonius Monk and
Astor Piazzolla. Unlike some 'Jazz + Strings' projects, this is a fully
integrated unit that truly sounds like a band.
