It’s been 10 years since this band released it’s debut album ‘Adrean Farrugia v1.0: Live at the Senator’ so it seems fitting that their reunion take place at Toronto’s ‘reincarnation’ of the famed Top O’ the Senator club: the new Jazz Bistro.
The band comprises some of the current jazz scene’s most influential players. Chicago native trumpeter Brad Goode “the lyrical genius of the trumpet”- Chicago Tribune is an alumnus of legendary bands led by Von Freeman, Jack Dejohnette and Curtis Fuller. Recent Order of Canada recipient Phil Dwyer’s saxophone playing has garnered him a reputation as one of Canada’s ‘jazz royalty’. Barry Romberg, founder of Romhog Records and leader of the Juno nominated Random Access brings his explosive drumming to this three night engagement and Jim Vivian, a long time first call bassist in Canada and fixture in groups led by Mike Murley and Don Thompson rounds out the group. These three nights will feature compositions both old and new by Juno award winning pianist Adrean Farrugia. This engagement will be recorded for a future album release....
