About
Big names from American jazz congregate in Fly, the trio that gives a contemporary twist to the line-up saxophone, double bass and drums.
Fly is ‘an intimate band with teeth’, according to drummer Jeff Ballard, accessible and razor sharp at the same time. Ballard and double bassist Larry Grenadier, steady collaborators of Brad Mehldau, form a tight unit in Fly with tenor sax player Mark Turner.
Fly’s music breathes and draws in the listener. Those who pay close attention will be rewarded with unbelievable grooves in challenging time signatures, chock full of funk and hip-hop influences....
