VIDEO OF THE DAY: DAVE O’HIGGINS AND GRAHAM HARVEY SHARE ‘MORE THAN YOU KNOW’
Jazzwise writes, “Leading UK saxophonist Dave O’Higgins is set to return with a new album, That’s the Way to Live!, featuring longtime friend and highly in-demand pianist Graham Harvey.”
The acoustic session of choice standards and originals from the band is released on 10 September on Ubuntu Music. The line-up also features top UK rhythm section players – bassist Jeremy Brown, and drummer Josh Morrison – while the album revels in old-school live in the studio vibes, with the tenorist and keyboardist unwinding on a series of sparkling solos.
Repertoire includes authentic takes on standards ‘I Wish I Knew’ (Warren/Gordon), ‘Segment’ (Charlie Parker) and a sultry take on the ballad ‘More Than You Know’ (Youmans/Rose/ Eliscu), while all band members contribute songs including ‘That’s What You’re Gonna Get’, ‘Mesa’ and ‘Tropical Paradise’. The video for the first single, ‘More Than You Know’, is available exclusively below:
