 | Wednesday, March 11th at 9pm: The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present the Eric Binder Quartet performing Pete La Roca’s 1965 release "Basra". ALBUM BACKGROUND: “It is strange to realize that drummer Pete La Roca only led two albums during the prime years of his career, for this CD reissue of his initial date is a classic. La Roca's three originals ("Basra," which holds one's interest despite staying on one chord throughout, the blues "Candu," and the complex "Tears Come From Heaven") are stimulating but it is the other three songs that really bring out the best playing in the quartet (which is comprised of tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist Steve Kuhn, and bassist Steve Swallow in addition to La Roca). "Malaguena" is given a great deal of passion, Swallow's "Eiderdown" (heard in its initial recording) receives definitive treatment, and the ballad "Lazy Afternoon" is both haunting and very memorable; Henderson's tone perfectly fits that piece.” ~Scott Yanow PERFORMANCES BY: Eric Binder - Drums Matthew Muneses - Tenor Lara Driscoll - Piano Sam Peters - Bass ADMISSION & LOCATION: $10 admission.
