The Matt Keegan Trio Meets David Ades album is a fantastic collaboration between the Australian jazz trio and the American saxophonist. The album features a range of original compositions and standards, all of which are beautifully arranged and performed by the talented musicians.
Keegan's saxophone playing is particularly impressive, with his smooth and melodic lines weaving in and out of Ades' intricate piano work. The rhythm section, consisting of Cameron Undy on bass and Dave Goodman on drums, provides a solid foundation for the melodies to sit on.
One standout track is "The Way You Look Tonight," which features a playful and upbeat arrangement that showcases the trio's ability to swing. Another highlight is the original composition "The Chase," which has a more modern and experimental feel, with the musicians exploring different textures and rhythms.
