Dave O'Higgins Trio - Tenors of Our Time (2018)

Led by UK saxophonist, Dave O’Higgins, the idea came about when Dave performed at the 2018 Rochester Jazz Festival in New York with Italian drummer, Luca Santaniello. Doing a 2-tenor combo with the wonderful Max Ionata seemed like a perfect UK-Italian collaboration, and it was a sheer pleasure from the first note. The quartet was made up with UK virtuoso jazz organist, Ross Stanley. The session was 'live in the studio' and swinging hard: 5 originals by Dave, 2 by Max, a tricky blues theme by James Williams, a Dizzy Gillespie rhythm changes and an old Italian pop song!
