The group's idiosyncratic sound world features close percussive\/textural interplay between gorgeous vibist \u003cstrong\u003eChris Dingman\u003c\/strong\u003e and Eisenstadt, who leads from the kit almost like a modern-day Art Blakey. Frontline soloists \u003cstrong\u003eNate Wooley\u003c\/strong\u003e (who Dave Douglas called “one of the most interesting and unusual trumpeters living today”) and tenor saxophonist \u003cstrong\u003eMatt Bauder\u003c\/strong\u003e play the whole jazz\/improv tradition with great verve and character. \u003cstrong\u003ePascal Niggenkemper\u003c\/strong\u003e took over the bass chair, and Harris's arrangements allow for many more small groupings than before. This eager, quick-witted bunch (highly respected bandleaders all) take full advantage of their opportunities with playing that frequently elicits smiles for its daring and abundant good humor. As Harris says, \"I do think we’re at our best when there’s a palpable sense of high-wire negotiation of written and improvised materials happening. There’s a congeniality amongst us that is also palpable. I value that looseness and trust within the group very much. If you’re not enjoying yourselves together, why bother?\"\r\n\r\n\"For \u003cem\u003eCanada Day IV\u003c\/em\u003e I wanted to go deeper into the possibilities of solo, duo, trio and quartet spaces within the ensemble. And rather than have stand-alone small group pieces, I decided to incorporate these different pieces into larger wholes, to keep shifting amounts of sonic information, weight and scope. As for my drumming, I continue to draw inspiration from non-drumset rhythm concepts, polyrhythmic traditions of Africa and the Diaspora, and particularly Cuban batá drumming these last five years.\"\r\n\r\nAbout Pascal Niggenkemper, Harris had this to say: \"Pascal is a fantastic interpreter, reader, creative pattern varier, and a very adventurous improviser. Playing grooves with him feels great, as does improvising textures. I would say his playing probably incorporates more extended techniques than the other Canada Day bassists. So he has this really far-reaching creativity plus that intangible thing which everybody loves about a great bass player: he makes the music feel good.\"\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarris Eisenstadt's Canada Day\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003eNate Wooley, trumpet\r\nMatt Bauder, tenor saxophone\r\nChris Dingman, vibraphone\r\nPascal Niggenkemper, bass\r\nHarris Eisenstadt, drums","brand":"Songlines Recordings","offers":[{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741963989316,"sku":"SGL26142-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741964022084,"sku":"SGL26142-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741964054852,"sku":"SGL26142-3","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741964087620,"sku":"SGL26142-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741964120388,"sku":"SGL26142-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741964153156,"sku":"SGL26142-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57343809159492,"sku":"SGL26142-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SGL26142.jpg?v=1790673199","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/sgl26142-canada-day-iv-unmastered-edition","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
