The second tribute to the pioneering bluesman Leadbelly on Sunnyside,
from drummer Adam Nussbaum, after 2018’s ‘The Lead Belly Project’.

In July of 2019, Nussbam and his band - band of saxophonist Ohad Talmor and dual guitarists, Steve Cardenas and Nate Radley - returned to Talmor’s home studio, Seeds, in Brooklyn. They recorded with no separation between the musicians and entirely live. The musicians’ comfort with the material and each other can be heard in the results, as the pieces have an emotional intimacy that goes beyond their prior efforts. The result of these recordings can be heard on ‘Lead Belly Reimagined’.

Adam Nussbaum’s love and respect, for both the music of Lead Belly and the musicians, in this project are impossible to miss in the music on ‘Lead Belly Reimagined’. The presentation of the legendary blues man’s visceral music in a diverse but flowing set of music is truly a feat of inspiration that will do much for the music’s legacy.
