Fan absolu de Kurt mon avis ne peut-être que subjectif, je ne m'étendrai donc pas sur le contenu de cet album magnifique. Le pressage est bon avec une bonne qualité audio. Enjoy.
I'm a great guitar jazz fan and buy a lot of albums including Kurt Rosenwinkel. I think I have all of them, at least the official ones. My two favorites are "Deep Song" on Verve and this one, "East Coast Love" with his trio including the incredibel Avishai Cohen on bass and the dynamic drummer Jorge Rossy. The sound is on high end level and so is the music. It has an excellent mix of standards and originals. It is hard to explain why it is so good, but whatever they do, it makes you feel you are a part of journey. Listen and most likely you will be completely embraced of the music and the sound. In spite of Kurt's and Avishai's relative youth on this album you really feel they are masters taking Pat Methenys and John Scofields playing to another level never heard of before. Go get it!
Enregistré Live at Small's Club in N.Y.C july 1996 . Enregistrement de qualité.Des themes de Bill Evans , Monk et Coltrane cohabitent avec des compos du leader Kurt Rosenwinkel. Le bassiste Avishai Cohen est aujourd'hui une star (meritée).Il devrait en être autant du remarquable batteur Catalan Jorge Rossy ici au meilleur de sa forme et qui parait il se consacre maintenant au piano.Un trio tres soudé dont les membres ont fait depuis du (bon ) chemin.N'hesitez pas ! Foncez !
What a record! This is my favorite recording and context for his playing (and I have heard all he's recorded for the public). So very very good: I just got it yesterday and I can't take it off. The title cut (which [is it just me?] rings of Goodbye Pork Pie Hat), is alone worth whatever price you have to pay. Hats off to Jorge Rossy too (as always).
Seriously, I hope he explores the trio setting again and again in what is sure to be a long career. It is so rare these days to hear a voice like this, where you know instantly that you're hearing a guy in for the long haul! Beautiful.
