Digital Booklet
|
"Four Stars ... Bley the reluctant pianist has grown more assured and the tonally subtle Sheppard more minimal, while Swallow holds the music in shape with his flawlessly purring lines."
- The Guardian
"Four Stars ... the meticulous engineering has a clear, intimate and fittingly live feel, which imbues the pieces with the trio’s personality, their detailed instrumental touches and a rich aural tapestry which accentuates sax, piano and bass."
- Audiophile Audition
Pianist Carla Bley, saxophonist Andy Sheppard and bassist Steve Swallow revisit classic Bley compositions on this exceptional album recorded in Lugano in 2012. Included here are spirited versions of Utviklingssang and Vashkar and the suites Les Trois Lagons, Wildlife and The Girl Who Cried Champagne. Carla’s robust tunes are vividly conveyed, all members solo compellingly and the trio has never sounded better.
"A lot of my albums have a sense of things being about to fall apart. But the personality of this record is quite serious. It’s also rather nostalgic. We’ve been playing in the trio format for 20 years now and we have a huge book of music. So in the studio in Lugano, we just started playing one tune after another ..."
- Carla Bley
