Dave Hillyard has been a touring musician since his teenage years, playing with HEPCAT, RANCID, STUBBORN ALL-STARS, and for the last two decades he has been the featured soloist with NYC's legendary Ska band, THE SLACKERS. The ROCKSTEADY 7 is Hillyard's all-star collective, where he is able to showcase his unique style of saxophone playing with extended jazz improvisations over Reggae-Ska rhythms. The blues influence becomes clear immediately on FRIENDS & ENEMIES, it was recorded live, without overdubs over the course of 1 day at Seaside Studios in Brooklyn. It has a direct raw sound, the horns soar above the multi-layered rhythm section led by legendary master Jamaican percussionist LARRY McDONALD, whose musical history goes from Mento to Ska to Reggae and beyond. It sounds like Fela Kuti, Burning Spear, the Skatalites, or one of David Murray's big bands. Making the instrumental accessible through storytelling and fusing the rhythms of Jamaica Ska/Reggae with American Jazz has been the hallmark of ROCKSTEADY 7.
