About the Album

Canadian Saxophonist and composer Andy Ballantyne returns to his roots with "Play On Words", a swinging tribute to the great saxophonists of the past. Aided by the word-class rhythm section of Terry Clarke, Neil Swainson, Rob Piltch and Adrean Farrugia, Ballantyne explores the music of his heroes with original compositions ranging in style from John Coltrane to Johnny Hodges. The opening track "Gordian Knot" pays tribute to the great Dexter Gordon.
