Lucky Sunday

One Sunday in December 2018 bassist/composer/educator Ron McClure brought this - his relatively new group - to the studio (Chris Sulit's Trading 8s in NJ) to record his 17th leader album. McClure's 30-year-old close collaboration with SteepleChase produced quite a few releases featuring new talents the bassist discovered. This is one of them, introducing Anthony Ferrara a new tenor star freshly out of NYU where McClure teaches.

"Under any circumstances this is quite thrilling and spell-binding music." - Thorbjørn Sjøgren, JazzSpecial on 'Ready Or Not' (SCCD31759)

"All of (McClure's) writing and playing comes from the heart - he is an instinctive player above all." - The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD

Personnel: Ron McClure (bass), Anthony Ferrara tenor saxophone), Rob Block (piano), Pete Zimmer (drums).
