David Flanagan is a bassist, composer and improviser from the Orkney Islands and is currently based in Glasgow.

As a band leader, David thrives on pushing the boundaries of contemporary jazz performance and composition, whether it be through his large ensemble writing, incorporating free improvisation into a big band, utilising electronics to create sonic soundscapes or his exhilarating quartet music.

His most recent works - The Unseen Genisis & Vista Impacts - written for trio and quartet respectively, pushes Flanagan’s music into complex structural and harmonic landscapes while still achieving an uplifting approach to contemporary jazz.

David’s album - Eleventh Hour - draws inspiration from the landscape of the Orkney Islands as well as contemporary jazz composers and performers such as Henry Threadgill, Matt Mitchell, Steve Lehman and Tim Berne. https://davidflanaganmusic.com/biography

Jeff Barnhart, one of the top stride pianists on the scene today, and the versatile and very fluent trombonist John Allred, join with drummer Danny Coots and bassist Dave Stone in a wide-ranging repertoire, which includes three obscure Fats Waller tunes, an unlikely medley, a long-forgotten Hoagy Carmichael song, numbers by Sonny Rollins and Charlie Haden, and a pair of dixieland warhorses in presenting an unusually eclectic program of The ABC’s Of Jazz.

Conrad Herwig - The Latin Side of Mingus

After receiving four Grammy nominations for his highly successful series of recordings that "latinize" the music of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Horace Silver, Conrad Herwig turns his attention to the legendary Charles Mingus. An imposing figure in jazz, Mingus was known for being complicated, volatile and a touched-by-genius innovator. As an homage to this influential artist, Conrad Herwig provides a fiery excursion into the world of Afro-Caribbean rhythms skillfully applied to Mingus' wildly imaginative compositions.

Joining Herwig is special guest trumpeter Randy Brecker together with long-time "Latin Side" band colleagues pianist Bill O'Connell, reedman Craig Handy and the trumpet/flugelhorn of Alex Sipiagin with the rhythm section of Luques Curtis, Robby Ameen and Camilo Molina. Collectively they bring a vibrant spirit and authority to this repertoire which is unique among today's salsa ensembles. Featured tunes run the gamut from the thoughtful and intimate "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love" to the unbridled joy of "Boogie Stop Shuffle" with the somewhat lop-sided introduction to the opening track, "Gunslinging Bird," being the perfect harbinger of things to come. This latest installment in Conrad Herwig's "Latin Side" series pays tribute to the work of Charles Mingus with progressive arrangements, propulsive rhythms, exciting solos and the consummate musicianship of the leader and his bandmates.
