ROOT 70

The internationally acclaimed jazz quartet ROOT 70 (NILS WOGRAM, JOCHEN RUECKERT, MATT PENMAN and HAYDEN CHISHOLM) play their favourite songs from FLANGER and BURNT FRIEDMAN & THE NU DUB PLAYERS.
The ten tracks assembled on 'Heaps Dub' all come from the diverse albums Friedman has released with the projects Flanger - together with ATOM(tm) - The Nu Dub Players and also solo on his NONPLACE label. All songs were arranged for trombone, saxophone, drums and double bass by Hayden Chisholm and have finally been dubbed by Burnt Friedman.
The musical spectrum on 'Heaps Dub' ranges from Jazz, Reggae Dub, Latin Jazz, odd grooves and crosses the named genres.
Root 70 have now come to play the once electronically conceived brain children of Friedman in a somewhat classic jazz quartet style - acoustic, from the page, and live.
There are four dub tunes and four Latin-jazz songs as well as a spoken word collage and a smooth jazz track on the album.
CODA "Root 70 play with pinpoint accuracy and rapid-fire linear invention. Hayden Chisholm plays alto with a Cool-School lightness." ... JAZZ "This music is brilliantly executed, bursting with wit. Root 70 illustrates how traditions can be both respected and resoundingly transgressed." ... BRITISH JAZZ JOURNAL "If you've been wondering about the state of young, contemporary European jazz talent recently, look no further - and enjoy!"
