Description
Pianist David Haney's fourth SLAM CD release, 'Q Sessions', gives an insight into his long standing collaboration with Argentine musicians, in particular Jorge Hernaez. Haney has previously recorded with musicians such as Julian Priester, Andrew Cyrille and Bernard Purdie.
Haney and Hernaez have worked together regularly since 2002, performing in the USA, Argentina and Chile. Disc One of 'Q Sessions', is a live recording of this duo at the 2015 Buenos Aires International Jazz Festival. On Disc Two, guitarist David Bajda joins the duo in concert in Mendoza. All the material is spontaneously composed.
He writes: "In 2002, I was invited by jazz photographer, Jorge Lardone to perform in concerts throughout Argentina. He wrote to me that I would not get rich off the tour, but I would be treated very well. Fourteen years have passed and seven trips to Argentina have enriched my life and my artistry. The common thread in all of my trips has been my collaborations with bassist Jorge Hernaez. In 2002, we became friends, and over the years we have honed our love of instant composing into an art form. You don't go to Argentina to get famous, you go there to rescue your soul and to rediscover your passion."
