- Steve Swallow: Winter Songs
(2016, cd, --, ecm records)
Bass player and composer Steve Swallow has a very impressive discography. Not only has he recorded with Gary Burton, Carla Bley and John Scofield, he also released an impressive set of albums as a leader.
According to my pal Danny, "Winter Songs" is Steve's 15th release.
Out on the ECM record label.
9 tracks, titled and numbered from "One" to "Nine".
Is it the winter melancholia, or is it because it will force the listener to be open-minded?
Whatever the reason, we're treated to an excellent set of tracks.
- Mike Rodriguez - Trumpet
- Chris Cheek - Tenor Saxophone
- Steve Cardenas - Guitar
- Gil Goldstein - Piano
- Steve Swallow - Bass
- Adam Nussbaum - Drums
Warm, accessible melodies and complex harmonic designs.
Very nice.
