The Andrew Dickeson Quintet- Weaver of Dreams

Eastside Radio’s Album of the Week is Weaver of Dreams by The Andrew Dickeson Quintet.

This is the debut recoding from drummer Andrew Dickeson after being a sought after sideman for over 25 years.

He has supported Australian and International greats, studied in New York, and was a finalist in the 1992 Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Drums Competition.

In 2011 he now directs a band that plays to lead the imagination astray. As Andrew puts it, he wanted a band that was creative, polished and swingin’.

Weaver of dreams reworks classics from the Great American Songbook including some less frequently performed tunes by Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon and Bobby Hutcherson.

The bass, tenor sax, trumpet, piano and drums engage in a creative conversation, which is at times structured and other time free flowing.  Andrew’s choice of different combinations makes for great listening, including; quintet, quartet, duet and solo drum kit.  

With a great rhythm and flow, Weaver of Dreams will sure leave you swingin’ and smilin’.

Weaver of Dreams was recorded at the SIMA sound lounge and presented by Rufus Records. For more information go to andrewdickeson.com.
