Il contrabbassista Clovis Nicolas presenta dodici differenti interpretazioni del blues, interpretando in trio brani personali e temi appartenenti ad epoche e autori diversi: dai tradizionali “Abide with Me" e “Old Stack O'Lee Blues" a Duke Ellington, Wes Montgomery, Ornette Coleman, Carla Bley e altri. Con lui sono Carl Allen alla batteria e Larry Goldings al pianoforte, una scelta strumentale abbastanza insolita per quest'ultimo, da tre decenni ai vertici dell'organo Hammond.

Rather than treating the blues as a fixed structure, Nicolas approaches it as a living foundation, exploring the many ways it continues to shape jazz across styles and eras. Born in the Ivory Coast and raised in ...

Arriving nearly three decades later, Golding's piano trio album I ...
