As Beautiful As Day: Rodric White album launch

FOUNDRY616 is delighted to present the launch of pianist Rodric White’s new album « AS BEAUTIFUL AS DAY » recorded at Electric Avenue Studios (Sydney) released by NEWMARKET MUSIC.

Inspired by original music projects by Mike Nock, Chris Cody, and Paul Cutlan, Rodric decided to return to the studio to record a backlog of music written since his 2006 album « THE SEA OF TRANQUILITY » (featuring Dale Barlow, Phil Slater, and Debra Dicembre).

In collaboration with drummer Andrew Dickeson and sound engineer Phil Punch, Rodric is delighted to share new music featuring the fine musical talents of Magdalena Mira (singer from Chile), Patricia Ségui (singer from France), bass players Brendan Clarke and Peter Kohlhoff, drummers Andrew Dickeson and Steve Ley, guitarists Paul Mitchell Brown and Dave Smith, saxophonists Andrew Roberson and Craig Walters, percussionist Philippe Lincy and LUSHOUS STRINGS (directed by cellist Nikkie Dobosi).

‘It surprised me to hear him announce a Keith Jarrett number. Even more so when [Rodric] played an extract from the Koln Concert. That took guts …’ – John Fenton NZ Jazz Critic (Australia & Pacific Gigs Review dated 15th September 2015)

‘The music shouts its strengths for all to hear: engaging original compositions, interesting textural meshes of acoustic and electronic, and fine playing from pianist White and a cast including Phil Slater and Dale Barlow. ‘ – John Shand (Sydney Morning Herald 24th November 2006)
