French drummer Olivier Le Goas makes his Sheffield debut with Reciprocity, a band of top New York-based musicians. Olivier readily acknowledges the Pat Metheny influence in the band’s music, which showcases the cascading piano playing of John Escreet, one of the most innovative musicians and composers working in jazz and improvised music, alongside rising star American guitarist Nir Felder, whose warm tone and fluid lines are a key component of their sound.
“… Le Goas has a distinctive, full-of-surprises, off-kilter drumming style, one that enhances and punctuates with exclamation points the lubricious flow of this unfailingly engaging music.” – AllAboutJazz.com
