About this concert
Four of our Crypt favourites join forces in this excellent quartet led by and featuring tenor saxophonist Dave O'Higgins and guitarist Rob Luft as they present music from their recent album Pluto. This is straight-ahead modern jazz in the African-American tradition, clearly coming from the Monk and Coltrane lineage, but not bound to emulating it. You will hear Luft easily morphing Wes Montgomery with Bill Frisell, his own trademark soundscapes and worldly influences, while O?Higgins? emotive melodies evoke Dexter, Coltrane, Joe Henderson and Michael Brecker, with a melodic logic of his own. The fantastic Ross Stanley on organ and drummer Rod Youngs complete the lineup
?O?Higgins plays with quite exceptional fluency and his fund of ideas never runs out.? - The Observer
?Luft is a thoughtfully virtuosic head-turner" - John Fordham, The Guardian
?An original guitarist to be prized" - The Irish Times
