Product DescriptionOn his stunning Khaeon label debut, Columbus, Ohio-born jazz violinist Christian Howes presents an acoustic trio recorded in Madrid in Nov. 2001. On this collection of originals and jazz standards by Thelonious Monk (Blue Monk), Bill Evans (Very Early) and Miles Davis (Blue in Green), the trio demonstrates stylistic influences, from swing and bebop over tango to avant-garde jazz and classical music. Not yet thirty, Howes has already made an indelible mark as one of the world's leading jazz violinists. In the widely regarded 2002 Down Beat Readers' Poll, Howes reached #4 in the Violinists/Talent Deserving Wider Recognition category.
