Thanks for visiting us on John
Coltrane’s 90th birthday.
It became a very special and fantastic
evening for us. One of the best concerts ever since the start in 1979.
And
our audience, mostly members of the club this night, loved it!

Absolute essence.
If somebody
asks you what jazz is about, take them to a New Light show or play their
music.
Elvin Jones must be proud.

The performance of New Light at Zig
Zag was one of the most impressive jazz concerts I've ever seen.
Dimitris at Zig Zag Jazz Club, Berlin, Germany |
I have NOT forgotten the wonderful
memorable concert you guys served us on September 22nd 2016!
Everyone who
attended voiced their delight in this life giving experience.
It was what
we in Norwegian call "en høydare," sort of like a highlight.
As for
myself I now listen often to your music on Spotify which keeps my spirits
high.
Wishing for a next time!!

I would like to inform you that it
was an amazing evening.
The band is complete. Sounds were incredibly clear.
The pieces were played with huge energy.
It was one of the best performance
I've ever been to!!!!!!

Finally got
around to writing about the group New Light with Adam Nussbaum, Gene Perla and
Adam Niewood, playing the repertoire that Gene and I did with Elvin Jones in
the early 70s. In this recent six concert European tour, we got amazing
responses everywhere, like "best gig ever," etc., etc. And the reason is
simple. People really want to hear intense burning, taking no prisoners, play
with balls music. We (and myself very included) think complexity is a
necessity. But playing on an A minor chord with some swinging quarter notes
from the bass and a ride beat that lifts off the ground does go right to the
heart of the matter. And the heart is basic swinging, burning solo statements
from everyone for the entire set with music that is conducive to that kind of
attitude. The specter of Trane and the Classic Quartet does rise in this
regard and after all Elvin was the caboose that drove that engine. What a
privilege to have had a minute with Jones back then. It formed the rhythmical
basis of my playing for sure. My appreciation to Adam Nussbaum who plays more
like Elvin in a "new light" than anyone else on the planet, knowing when to
rise, fall, all towards telling the story; to Gates (Gene Perla) for his
commitment to every beat and the spirit of this music; and to Adam Niewood who
is absolutely burning every solo. Great band!
