Polar Bear - Peepers

Released: 01/03/2010 The Leaf Label
Virtuosic jazz cubs Polar Bear have gained increasing recognition over the past couple of years for their fresh take on the genre. Led by drummer Seb Rochford, they feature members of Acoustic Ladyland and Basquiat Strings. Peepers captures the group live in the studio, on top improvisatory form.
