Bop Shop Records presents: LUCIAN BAN & ALEX HARDING DARK BLUE Tuesday, October 8, 8pm Bop Shop Records 1460 Monroe Ave. Rochester NY $20 at the door, $10 for students
In spring 2019 Sunnyside records released DARK BLUE, their long awaited follow up album. From avant blues to spontaneous improv pieces, from uncanny ballads that seem to channel Ben Webster and Archie Sheep into an alternate Sun Ra universe, from intricate bass clarinet & piano duets to a heartfelt solo baritone tribute to the late master Hamiet Bluiett, DARK BLUE represents a stunning document of two artists at their maturity, two old friends conversing in the language of modern jazz.
