On his latest release ‘Night In The City’, this master of his craft is presented like never before. Recorded at City Winery, Nashville in 2021, it was Ford’s first performance after the Covid lockdown. Something which only added to the excitement and expectation from both band and crowd. As Robben stated “It had been so long since playing a significant, live show that expectations were very much heightened. There was an edge that kept us all on our toes and the audience was hungry for a good time. They were very supportive, which was great, because we needed that”.The superlative musicianship throughout is a joy to behold, and something Robben in his role as bandleader was able to reflect on “The fact that I had such a great band is what made the evening for me. Each musician was the perfect man for the job and that helps a band leader relax. All the guys are top, in demand players”.With a setlist that covers material old and new, an exceptional evening was captured to be enjoyed by all.Robben Ford Guitar VocalsNate Smith DrumsAnton Nesbit bassJeff Coffin Saxophone Bass ClarinetteJovan Quallo Saxophone
