ROZ MACDONALD QUARTET FEAT. BRUCE BARTH (NYC)

ROZ MACDONALD QUARTET FEAT. BRUCE BARTH (NYC)

Roz Macdonald is a double bass player from Scotland who currently lives in Hamburg and Berlin. She performs regularly on both scenes in a wealth of different line ups and often elsewhere in Germany and Europe, as a sidewoman and with her own projects. In 2022 she released her debut album 'Make Do' with her own trio in Berlin and has since been composing and preparing to record a second album. On this occasion she has had the opportunity to invite a special guest from NYC, Bruce Barth, to join her quartet for this concert at Birdland. Along with two of her favourite musicians from the Hamburg and Berlin scene - Gabriel Coburger on tenor saxophone and Jordan Dinsdale on drums. The band will play mostly original compositions and a few interpretations of jazz standards.

Jazz pianist and composer Bruce Barth has been sharing his music with listeners the world over for more than thirty-five years. In addition to traveling widely performing his own music, he has also performed with revered jazz masters, and has collaborated with leading musicians of his own generation. Zan Stewart of the Newark Star Ledger writes: "No one sounds quite like Barth. His solos are characterized by robust swing, his ability to tell a story, and by his rich, beguiling sound."  Bruce has performed on over 135 recordings and movie soundtracks, including seventeen as a leader. He is equally at home playing solo piano (American Landscape on Satchmo Jazz Records), leading an all- star septet (East and West on MaxJazz), and composing for a variety of ensembles. His trio has recorded live at the legendary Village Vanguard in New York City. Bruce has been a member of the Terell Stafford Quartet for more than fifteen years, recording and performing extensively with this dynamic group. He has also had extended collaborations with Steve Wilson, Luciana Souza, Steve Nelson, and Tony Bennett; and has performed with James Moody, Phil Woods, Freddie Hubbard, Tim Armacost, Tom Harrell, Luis Bonilla, Rene Marie, and Branford Marsalis, and Adam Kolker.
