Gregory Tardy – Hope

Gregory Tardy’s seventh release on SteepleChase “Hope” delivers strong musical and spiritual message to us all.
Since his comeback from a three year sabbatical from the music scene Tardy has firmly resumed his place as “one of the most important saxophonists of his generation” (Matthew Miller, AAJ).
“… ultimately it’s Tardy’s show. Not only is he arguably the most original of the band’s improvisers, he’s also the most impassioned. His lines are incisive and hard-edged. Even his most fanciful flights are purposeful.
