London Jazz Festival 08 Highlights
"The terrific Leeds-based Trio VD followed up with an equally ferocious display, this time a fast, tight and awesomely expert conjunction of spiky high-energy compositions, uninhibited sax and guitar improv and machine-gun drumming"
John Fordham London Jazz Festival Review
Guardian 02/12/08
WATCH!!!
"...with drummer Bussey completing this triple whammy of 1970s style loose-limbed abandon with some distinctly Cobham-esque pounding this trio is bursting with barely contained passion."

LATEST LIVE REVIEW:: Jazzwise review trioVD @ The Vortex Club 09
..."it's drummer Chris Bussey that brings an
extraordinary energy and charisma to their live show (trioVD). Bussey's
ferocious attack, sheer exuberance and abundant virtuosity combine with
a high wire, devil-may-care humour that's wrapped up in a manic Keith
Moon grin that simply bursts of the stage"
Mike Flynn Jazzwise
"...WITH DRUMMER BUSSEY COMPLETING THIS TRIPLE WHAMMY OF 1970s STYLE LOOSE-LIMBED ABANDON WITH SOME DISTINCTLY COBHAM-ESQUE POUNDING THIS TRIO IS BURSTING WITH BARELY CONTAINED PASSION."
