about

In April of 2012, saxophonist Damani Phillips, Hammond organist Pat Bianchi, trumpeter Greg Gisbert and legendary drummer Lewis Nash came together for the very first time to record an album under Phillips’s name titled “The Reckoning". We were beyond pleased to reunite for 2 great shows in the state of Iowa - the first at The Mill in Iowa City and a second at Noce Jazz and Cabaret in Des Moines. The album you hold in your hands is a live recording consisting of the best of those two nights. The prospect of a live album is not one taken lightly, as the benefits of in-studio recording are unavailable to the musicians in such an environment. No overdubbing solos, no correcting errors in ensemble playing, no pitch correction for those problem moments – essentially no safety net whatsoever to rely on. However, jazz is music that is meant to happen spontaneously in the moment, and is at its very best when existing in the spirit of reciprocal energy between audience and performer. So while the undertaking of a live recording has its share of risks, it also has the potential to reap rewards that can only be captured in live performance. We recorded this album with this hope in mind, and we’ve done our best to deliver a great album that captures that spirit well.
