[ Ford Motion Records New Zealand / CD ]
Release Date: Monday, 8 December, 2008
Charmaine Ford is well-known as one of the country's most exciting young pianists and composers, with an energetic, muscular style. Nick Tipping is an experienced bassist, composer and teacher, whose solos lend a supple quality to their sound. Richie Wise is a jazz drummer who's been known to flirt with the funk (he also plays with Harbour City Electric), and with this trio he keeps the focus on driving rhythms.
Ford has blazed a trail of awards confirming she is indeed one of New Zealand's most distinguished jazz musicians. She has released two self-penned albums, which showcase her extraordinary talent. Her sophomore release, 'Busy Silence', was awarded 'Best Jazz Album 2007' at the New Zealand Music Awards. Ford is the first female instrumentalist to receive this accolade. Her debut album 'Blues for Guppy' was also a finalist in the same category in 2004.
This, their second release after 'Live at Sandwiches' by Charmaine Ford, Nick Tipping and Richard Wise features eight tracks from the live recordings made on 30th August and 6th September 2006. After the trio had been jamming jazz, acoustic and Latin flavors at Sandwiches lounge bar for over three years they decided to record the album which received wonderful reviews.
