Outside Agitators by Nixon, Croft and Goretti
From Liner notes by Paul Hofmann:
"OUTSIDE AGITATORS, the second volume of Andrew Nixon jazz piano originals (following Andrew’s 2020 beautiful debut IN CONGRUENCE) is another aural treat!
Nixon’s eight new tunes are in turn thoughtful and introspective; at times harmonically and melodically surprising; always singing; above all SWINGING; and are again interpreted wonderfully by the trio of Nixon, bassist Ed Croft and drummer Joe Goretti."
From All About Jazz senior editor Chris May:
"uncounted numbers of inferior (albums) have been hyped from the rooftops by record labels."
