Joe Lovano – Trio Fascination (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Elvin Jones's presence here carries unmistakable weight. The drummer who defined John Coltrane's classic quartet brings that same volcanic, conversational energy to Lovano's originals, and hearing him lock in with Dave Holland in a pianoless setting gives the music a kind of open-air freedom that straight-ahead recordings rarely achieve. This Tone Poet pressing, mastered with Blue Note's signature audiophile care, is the format this session deserves.
Double vinyl LP pressing. The acclaimed Cleveland-born saxophonist Joe Lovano came to Blue Note Records in 1990 and over the next 25 years became one of the most recorded artists in the label's history, building a formidable and far-ranging catalog that explored the full breadth of his artistry. Recorded in September 1997, Trio Fascination: Edition One stands out as one of the more remarkable sessions in Lovano's discography with the saxophonist joining forces with two all-time legends-bassist Dave Holland and drummer Elvin Jones-in a spare trio setting that finds these three masters conversing freely. Throughout Lovano can be heard on tenor, soprano, alto, and straight alto saxophones, as well as alto clarinet, and the set consists of nine creative Lovano originals including the pulsing opener "New York Fascination," the spacious "Sanctuary Park," the Sam Rivers tribute "Studio Rivbea," and a stunning rendition of the lone standard "Ghost of a Chance." This Tone Poet Vinyl Edition marks the album's first-ever release on vinyl.
