Recorded live at the Wellington Town Hall on October 23rd 2009, Little Bushman Live In Concert With The NZSO marks a collaboration of historic amplitude, an unforgettable experience that is now available to all.
With arrangements by NZ composer & Laureate recipient John Psathas, the NZ Symphony Orchestra became an orchestral tsunami behind the already electrifying psychedelic blues quartet, Little Bushman.
Little Bushman Live In Concert With The NZSO showcases not only the band’s unparalleled, dynamic ‘60s inspired psychedelic blues, but also the lush complexities delivered by the NZSO, lifting the Bushman’s songs to a level of intensity that could only be achieved with this type of symphonic partnership.
In the words of Little Bushman frontman Warren Maxwell (ex-Trinity Roots/Fat Freddy’s Drop): “With this collaboration you have one major head spin of an experience!”
With cinematic inspired photography by Pat Shepherd (Exposure Magazine), beautifully collated by noted illustrator & graphic designer Andrew Shaw (past work includes Insider’s Guide To Love & Aftershock), this is equally worth owning for the sheer beauty of the cover art.
Recorded & mixed by Graham Kennedy (RNZ National), mastered by Mike Gibson of Inca Productions & including access to a free video download of Peaceful Man (taken straight from the concert!), this is one top quality package from one of NZ’s most valuable & treasured musical assets.
