about

Australian-born alto saxophonist Nick Hempton unleashes a big sound and takes care of "The Business" on his 2011 record. The album features a well-balanced program of Hempton's exciting compositions along with a few tasty covers thrown in for good measure. Hempton is joined on the date by his long time working rhythm section of pianist Art Hirahara, bassist Marco Panascia, and the drummer Dan Aran. This hard-hitting session really swings solidly from beginning to end, and will certainly delight straight ahead jazz fans everywhere. We feel confident that Nick Hempton's dynamic performance is sure to affect a pleasing response in ardent listeners when he gives them "The Business."

He's called New York City home since 2004. ... more
