Album Description

Now comes Nearness, from Blues & Greens Records and Candid Records, the most thrillingly intimate expression of their kinship yet. The new LP, produced by longtime musical director and esteemed guitarist Chris Bruce, features just Wright and Banks, on piano and organ, traversing 11 jazz standards and spirituals. For Wright, this streamlined format constitutes both a paring back and a bold leap forward, and its effect can be breathtaking. Nearness is an extraordinary showcase for each artist’s sheer ability and experience. But more than that, it serves as a master class in the clairvoyance and faith that defines collaboration at its apex. It’s an album well over two decades in the making — and it sounds like it.
