Since his first leader album (SCCD 31313 “New Horizon”) in 1992 bassist/composer/leader Steve LaSpina has been acclaimed both as composer and performer for his consistently creative releases on SteepleChase. The latest release “Remember When”, as Mark Gardner describes in the linernotes, “…constitute a recital of rare balance in which heartfelt emotions and poignancy are ever present.” “… Persistently inventive writing …” “…LaSpina’s originals are deliciously songful” (The Penguin Guide to Jazz) “As a bassist, LaSpina evokes a wonderful sound, bent to the task by a solid time concept and intonation. That his understanding of the instrument is comprehensive comes through loud and clear…” (Bill Bennett, JazzTimes)
