THE LIFE LONG DAY DREAMER

By ELSEN PRICE

Out now from Sydney Double Bassist/ Electric Bassist Elsen Price!

‘The Life Long Day Dreamer’, released on Sydney Jazz Label ‘Rippa Recordings’, a label directed by ‘Bell Award’ winning Jazz Saxophonist James Ryan.

A 2 hour long improvised performance Elsen did at Sydney Jazz Space ‘Johnston Street Jazz’ on the 2nd of April, at a secret location during the 2020 Covid 19 epidemic. Elsen had returned from performance and workshops in the UK in February to find himself in the position of no performance or travel opportunities, with a common angst, fear and confusion experienced by not only musicians, but people all over the world. This JSJ recording was a live stream performance, and in true nature as an Internationally regarded Double Bassist and Improvisor!
