Masters at work

(5 out of 5 stars)
"So sad a cd like this is long OOP and totally improprially priced!
This is some HatHut best production ever. Lacy and Blake with Ricky Ford explore with deep intellectual and emotional feeling the great George Gershwin's legacy, respectful for the melodies, almost singing the famous texts. A close listen will surely be rewarded with 'magical' surprises, stunning use of dynamics and spaces (I am speaking about Masters, indeed); no trivial playing here, no superficial quoting or post-modernism. The best version of The Man I love I ever heard otu of the classic performers, among other great moments."
