Since the early 2000’s Irish bassist – composer, David Redmond has been one of the most consistently sought after bass players on the scene. Redmond surrounds himself with some of contemporary jazz’s acclaimed musicians.

The dynamic of “Roots” stems from past collaborations with leading musicians who also count as Redmond’s colleagues and friends.
