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 orchestral arrangements by NZ composer and Laureate recipient John Psathas, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Hamish McKeith, 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 and graphic designer Andrew Shaw (past work includes Insider's Guide To Love and Aftershock), this is equally worth owning for the sheer beauty of the cover art.
Recorded and mixed by Graham Kennedy (RNZ National), mastered by Mike Gibson of Inca Productions and 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 and treasured musical assets.
