Description
Drum legend Steve Gadd along with the 4-time Danish Grammy-winning saxophonist Michael Blicher and Hammond-wizard Dan Hemmer release their fourth album together, 'It will be Alright'. United by a shared love of performing bluesy, soulful music in the most intimate and acoustic of settings, Blicher Hemmer Gadd's hard-swinging 4th album recreates the excitement and energy of the late-night sets they've performed around the world together. The album also features two special songs that were recorded during lockdown in Michael's studio in Copenhagen.
Formed after a chance encounter more than 11 years ago, they continue with this joyful project, which has flourished despite the 3,000+ miles, 40+ years and 3 busy touring schedules which separate them.
After decades performing stadiums with the likes of Eric Clapton, James Taylor and Steely Dan, Gadd relishes the opportunity to rediscover the sound and feel of playing almost acoustically "This is honest Music" he says, "no one plays like this anymore."
"It's bluesy, swinging and soulful jazz played by exceptional musicians" - Rhythm Magazine
