by John Sharpe
Even though drummer/composer Mike Pride has appeared on over 70 albums, ranging from avant rock to blues, he remains not as well-known as he might be in the jazz field.

He's worked a trio magic, to, -with his piano/saxophone/drums Fieldwork group, on the ...
Mike Pride’s From Bacteria to Boys: Betweenwhile
