Andrew is back at The Jazz Room with an exciting new project! Featuring Canada’s top-flight rising stars, this dynamic quintet plays bebop and jazz standards with exciting new arrangements putting the element of tap dance back into jazz. You heard it here first!
Andrew McAnsh is an artist in the prime of his career and claims the high ground of concentration and poetic insight to illuminate these transcendent works; these abstract tributes to life. His yearning timbre and gleaming palette make this an utterly mesmerising recording.
