Marc Johnson and Eliane Elias are
husband and wife. Marc Johnson was the last, permanent bass player of Bill
Evans from 1978-1980. And Eliane Elias has all through her career been inspired
by Maestro Evans. In 2007 she did Something for You – a celebration of Bill
Evans through his music.
On that album Johnson was at the bass and Joey Baron
played the drums.
This is a continuation and
development of that album. Once again it’s the trio-jazz which has the upper
hand. Do you know – and not least – do you love Bill Evans’ music, then this is
an album which goes straight to heart.
With the addition of saxophone
player Joe Lovano several interesting things are happening. Lovano plays discreet
and with empathy. He sneaks into the music and adjust his playing in an impressive
manner. He holds back and is present.
I don’t hesitate in recommending
this album.
