Courtney Pine Links With Omar For Rules

[youtube id=”CQpKN87gfxo”] “Rules” is one of two collaborations Courtney Pine has with Omar on his new album Black Notes From The Deep. Pine uses Freddie Hubbard’s “Red Clay” to build on and the carefree piece gives way to Pine’s tenor sax blasting off at the end. Pine’s horn has been around since the ’80s and he has consistently created his own lane of soulful jazz. His reputation is built on his saxophone but he is multi-instrumentalist who also plays the bass clarinet, flute, keyboards and clarinet. Black Notes From The Deep is his 19th album and you can pre-order it now before the October 27th release date.
