Chosen as pick of the week, June 2000 by AllABoutJazz.com, Freedance has had the rare advantage of being together for 11 years. Having started in 1992, freedance has become one of the longest standing Jazz groups in New York City.Bass Player Magazine says,"Freedance is a group that pulls no punches. Performing with a sense of purpose, tight interplay and solid, thoughtful playing".Living at a time when great tradition and sameness seem to be the norm, it's so great to hear music as on this CD, that dares to take chances,mixes it up and plenty of room for the imagination to stretch out.With freedance, Phillips, Abbasi, O'Gallagher and Moreno have created music that takes you to many places, from downtown to Bombay, with a couple of twisted standards for the old folks.I've listened many times and am sure I'll be checking it out for some time.Very Fresh!Thanks for the music,John Abercrombie
