Description
Trio recording led by American jazz harpist Park Stickney, alongside Italian bassist Dino Contenti and percussionist Gigi Biolcati. They perform two original compositions, plus unique interpretations of songs by Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans and others as well as The Eagles "Hotel California".
Stickney is constantly in motion, travelling across Europe, the U.S. and Asia, as a soloist and teacher, as well as with a variety of ensembles whose music ranges from jazz to classical to rock. He's performed and taught in nearly every harp festival that exists, from Adelaide to Zaragoza, often several times has played Wagner with the Berlin Philharmonic (as a jazz harpist disguised as a classical harpist), profiting at the same occasion to play a solo jazz concert for the Philharmonic's lunchtime series for 1200 people.
He's performed on the QE2, recorded with the Crash Test Dummies, jammed with John Sebastian (of the Lovin' Spoonful), played with young oud students in the West Bank, given concerts everywhere from a mine in South Tyrol, to a thermal bath in Switzerland and in a New York McDonalds. He's played Broadway pits in NY, toured with the Fantasticks in Japan, and appears on page 97 of Patricia Cornwell's novel "From Potter's Field."
