The Michael Moore Trio: The History of Jazz, Volume 2: Dedications
ByEach piece gives the sense of a close-knit group of musicians who really get into their gig. The tune “Nardis” seems a fantastic example of mood setting when the musicians are in it. The result is a tune that tends to show the relaxed moods of Miles Davis, the author of the song. An interesting fact pointed out in the liner notes is that this tune is one of Davis’ creations that he never recorded, and while Bill Evans may have co-written the tune, he is the artist who has recorded it the most. A smooth, sometimes exhilarating drive home album, or something to relax with after a long day...a chance to let three talented musicians relieve a little of the stress of the day.
