American bassist Nathan Francis, based in Helsinki, introduces himself as a leader with the debut project of his Nathan Francis Quartet. With a cast of top-tier Finnish musicians, the quartet presents some of Nathan's favorite tunes from the standard repertoire (J. Hicks, C. McBee & J. Coltrane) as well as original compositions by the band members. As Nathan says, "we play compositions by each member but with an energy and interpretation that completely belong to the spirit of the band."
