Alessi/Laubrock/Davis/Gress/Rainey- Obbligato (CD)
On Tom Rainey's second CD on Intakt Records, he surprises listeners with standards from Brubeck, Monk and Ellington. For this recording he chose some of the finest players New York has to offer. 'The players are pretty scrupulous... melodic variation is the heart of their method - they acknowledge the changes, but are very much playing the tune not just the frame. Think of the collective improvisations as multiple obbligatos... ' - Kevin Whitehead, from the Liner Notes.
Tracklist:
- Just in Time
- In Your Own Sweet Way
- Long Ago and Far Away
- Reflections
- Secret Love
- Prelude to a Kiss
- Yesterdays
- If I Should Lose You
- You Don't Know What Love Is 1
- Just in Time Again
