John Goldsby (bass), Billy Test (piano) and Hans Dekker (drums) play "Conception,” a composition by George Shearing. Recorded as part of the concert series "WDR Big Band Small Groups" on Feb. 20, 2021 at the WDR Funkhaus.
Fans often call The WDR BIG BAND the "band of soloists," because each member delivers as a soloist in the big band context while simultaneously supporting the ensemble. The new series "WDR Big Band Small Groups" presents members of the big band in different constellations. In the summer of 2020, bassist John Goldsby assembled his rhythm section bandmates-Hans Dekker (drums) and Billy Test (piano)-and recorded an album of music that’s empathetic, intuitive and extremely well-rehearsed-no surprise, since they work together (almost) every day with the WDR Big Band. The album, Segment [February 16, 2021], captures the strength of this wonderful rhythm section as they explore the pulse of the jazz tradition while adding innovative accents of color, light and groove.
