Album Description
Adhyâropa Records is thrilled to announce Heard By Others II (ÂR00111), the new collaboration between legendary saxophonist and Saturday Night Live music director Lenny Pickett and avant garde drum sensation John Hadfield.
Pickett’s accomplishments as a saxophonist, composer, arranger, and bandleader in multiple genres is truly remarkable. As a first-call session musician and as one of the early members of Tower of Power, he has collaborated with many of the great artists in popular music for the past half-century: Elton John, Rod Stewart, John Lee Hooker, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Mick Jagger, Laurie Anderson, Talking Heads, Ravi Shankar, Philip Glass, Mariah Carey, Katy Perry, David Byrne, and St. Vincent, to name a few. He leads his own ensemble, The Borneo Horns, and has composed music for classical ensembles, theatre, film, and dance. He has been the music director of the Saturday Night Live band for three decades and is a member of the NYU jazz saxophone faculty.
John Hadfield is one of the most active and admired drummers and percussionists in the modern musical world. He appeared on Yo-Yo Ma’s Grammy-winning album Songs of Joy & Peace and the scores for films such as The Goldfinch, Gemini Man and Drive Away Dolls.
