Gary Husband & Drive !

Gary Husband's Drive (Richard Turner - Trumpet, Julian Siegel - Tenor, Mike Janisch - Bass and GH - Drums/Piano) made their debut performance at London's Vortex club on the 21st of June to a delighted crowd.

" ... The Drive quartet blew the lid off, not least because Husband's drumming was such an astonishing mixture of rhythmic fluidity and raw power ... This is a band we'll be hearing a lot more from"
said The Guardian's John Fordham - (full review can be viewed in PRESS, situated in THE PAST page).

"Gary Husband the pianist has long been overshadowed by Gary Husband the drummer. I can personally testify to it. However, here we have a recording which will probably achieve the reverse of what I just wrote. In addition, he has chosen to base this recording primarily on my own compositions. I am honored.
This is a recording that is full of surprises; and the fact that I have difficulty in recognizing one or two of my own compositions is only one of them! But Gary is no ordinary musician: full of invention and surprises, modulations and inversions of melodic, harmonic and rhythmic content abound. This is Gary Husband in full bloom: Wonderful!!!"
