Big Foot vinyl reissue - Crayford and Gooch

Recorded in 2007 at Trident Studios, Big Foot captures the collaboration between longtime friends Jonathan Crayford and Riki Gooch, recorded live with Gooch on drums and Crayford moving fluidly between Hammond organ, Rhodes, Clavinet, Mini Moog, electric bass, flute, bass clarinet and percussion. 

Grown out of material from regular performances at venues across Wellington in the early 2000s, and backed by the voices of Lisa Tomlins, Emma Paki, and Hollie Smith, Big Foot is an abstract reflection on the colonisation of Aotearoa, finally releasing on vinyl for the first time at the urging of Crayon Records producer Michael Robins. Don't mess about.

Crayford: "These are tunes I played with Riki and others at our regular gig at Havana Bar and other venues in Wellington for a couple of years back in 2002 to 2006, music I wrote to express some kind of feeling I had at the time - often to do with growing up in NZ and then living outside of it in places like New York.
"When I moved back to NZ in 2000 I was amazed to discover a whole new generation of musicians that were really happening and a fertile scene. This was a great period and one in which we all got together and played and played and played. This album is a product of that, a time stamp of that wonderful colourful and abundant period.”
