Sticking with the Piano Trio structure .... recorded @ Clinton Studios, N.Y.C on February 24th, 1993 ....this session documents a more extroverted Richie Beirach .... and the rhythm tandem of Dave Holland + Jack DeJohnette is fabulous ....
Recorded at Victor Studios, Tokyo on September 25th, 1976 .... subtle Piano Trio sessions which grows rather slowly but sustainably .... btw excellent sound quality ....
The 80`s were not a succesful decade for Soul music .... watered down by so-called "R`n`B" and increasing Rap influences the survivers of the "Disco Yers" had faced times indeed .... but this platter has it all - the songs, the voices and no fillers - and despite being labeled "a critical favorite" the (commercial) success was comparatively negligible .... a great S-O-U-L album ....
Recorded "live" @ Wigmore Hall London on October 4th, 1999 .... late Lorraine Hunt Lieberson delivers lovely renditions and Julius Drake fills the gaps perfectly ....
Reynaldo Jorge And His Orchestra "No Llores Mas" (Barbaro) 1981 .... the otherwise (to me) unknown lead singer J.R. Torres glides along the cool grooves set by Gilberto "Pulpo" Colón (piano) and Daniel Ponce (bata) ....
Lalo Rodriguez "Ya No Te Quiero" (Disoco Perla) 1982 .... a luxury coro consisting of Santos Colón, Tito Gomez and Yayo El Indio challenges Lalo Rodriguez to some great singing ....
Anna Gourari plays Sofia Gubaidulina "Ciaccona" (Decca) 2005 .... unfortunately the only track feat this composer, the remainder being written by Alexander Scriabin (expertly performed, but not what you are looking for .... me believe) ....
