Product Details
Clayton comes from deep roots, the son of bassist John Clayton and nephew of altoist Jeff Clayton, and has spent years as a first-call collaborator for artists ranging from Ambrose Akinmusire to Diana Krall. That pedigree shows in how he thinks about ensemble conversation, and on Ones & Twos he pushes that instinct toward something genuinely structural, treating the album itself as a compositional object rather than just a sequence of tracks.
Pianist and composer Gerald Clayton returns with his third Blue Note album, Ones & Twos, featuring vibraphonist Joel Ross, flutist Elena Pinderhughes, trumpeter Marquis Hill and drummer Kendrick Scott, with post-production work by Kassa Overall. The album is an experiment - an idea inspired by the art of turntablism with Clayton setting out to create a record where the A side can be played simultaneously with the B side - a nod to that moment in the club when the DJ transitions from one song to the next and you hear two separate pieces at the same time.
