Description
'Snapshot' is Derek Nash's second solo album (see also Sax Appeal) which features nine diverse tunes. Derek is a full-time member of the Jools Holland Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, as well as running Sax Appeal and Protect the Beat. Here he records a straight ahead, swinging album in Blue Note style, mixing standards with acoustic interpretations of modern tunes.
Derek is featured on all four saxes and is joined by Jan Lundgren - piano, Geoff Gascoyne - bass, Steve Brown Drums. In 2008 he was voted one of the top three alto players at the British Jazz Awards, the latest in a long line of accolades he's received throughout his career. 'Snapshot' includes Grover Washington Jnr and Pat Metheny compositions, each given the acoustic treatment; an obscure Ellington number, some straight-ahead swing, classic ballads and a Gerry Mulligan with counterpoint, courtesy of a Dave Grusin arrangement that Derek has loved for years.
