Live by Rob Crozier Jazz Ensemble
This album highlights live performances at the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe in Grosse Point, Mi from February 6-9th, 2019.
The recording includes original songs previously recorded on “Tall Trees” and my latest work “Ocean Blue” as well as two premiers: “Surrender” and “Leafar.” These performances capture the ensemble with the spontaneous energy of our live show, intense and funky.
Special thanks to: my family, my best friend Ryan Evans, Joe Judge for the many years that you have captured my music in your graphics, to Edith Lüthi for your beautiful cover art and Willie Jones at The Dirty Dog. Extra special thanks to my beautiful wife Kelly who never ceases to support and lift me up.
