Dom Franks' Strayhorn - Duality Pt . 1 (2024)

Part 1 of a double album featuring two different, but distinct bands, showcasing two facets of lyrical, harmonically adventurous composer & saxophonist Dom Franks’s eclectic musical tastes.
In ‘Duality Pt.1’ Dom pays tribute to the smoking trio of Hammond master Larry Goldings, as well as David Sanborn’s collaborations with organist Joey DeFrancesco, with a new set of compositions inspired by these models.
‘A set full of melody and groove with gorgeous originals by saxophonist and composer Dom Franks’ - Swindon Jazz Review
‘Consolidates on the success of the previous StrayHorn Quartet releases with Franks again impressing as both a saxophonist and as a composer/arranger… lithe and fluent tenor soloing from the leader’ - the JazzMan, previous review
