Nathan Norman, the consummate drummer of nuance and feeling, rounds out the rhythm section. He’s performed with just about everyone of note including the late, great vocalist Debbie Duncan, Connie Evingson, Joyce Lyons, Thomasina Petrus, Charmin Michelle, Dennis Spears just to name a few.
Long time Twin Cities saxophonist, Brad Holden, brings his unique voice on alto saxophone to give this quartet a highly original sound. He is deeply influenced by the improvisation of Lee Konitz and Warne Marsh. “I relish all of my playing experiences, particularly those with whom I’ve developed a long-term, close friendship and musical affinity.” This pretty much sums up what’s happening in this quartet.
