Rub Harder
Add this album to your collection.
Rub Harder, The Hard Rubber Orchestra's second CD released in April 2002, features compositions by Jean Derome, Brad Turner, John Korsrud, Rene Lussier and Ron Samworth and special guest performers, Lori Freedman, Marilyn Lerner and Brad Turner.
"...powerful, groovy, dissonant, and most of all cleverly constructed to the point that it verges on orchestral composition. ...The orchestra performs tighter than before and is beautifully recorded. In short, Rub Harder is a fantastic album, a must for anyone into progressive big bands and followers of the Vancouver jazz scene."
-Francois Couture, All Music Guide
"The ten pieces are arranged almost like a suite and, despite their varied sources, the disc plays well from beginning to end."
