Joe Lovano: Quartets Live At The Village Vanguard
Label: BLUE NOTE Catalog: 724382912521 Format: CD Joe Lovano: saxophones, Mulgrew Miller: piano, Tom Harrell: trumpet, Christian McBride & Anthony Cox: bass, Lewis Nash & Billy Hart: drumsDisc 1: Fort Worth / Birds Of Springtimes Gone By / I Can't Get Started / Uprising / Sail Away / Blues Not To Lose / Song And Dance Two groups, two different approaches, one great set! Lovano is captured with these two stellar units at the renowned Village Vanguard, and neither night disappoints. The more probing of the nights, a chordless quartet with Tom Harrell, features more original compositions. Check out Fort Worth, deceptively simple with the bass ostinato and an intriguing melody over top. The second disc features compositions by Monk, Trane, Mingus and more. Mulgrew Miller digs in and Lovano thrives with the pianist. If you don't have any Lovano, this set is a good starting point because it reveals two sides of Lovano that are most enjoyable.
