On May 29th we lost 'Grew', the great Mulgrew Miller to a stroke, he was only 57."The emphasis on this quintet album is on Mulgrew Miller's compositions; five of the seven numbers (all but Kenny Garrett's "Sonhos Do Brasil" and the standard "I Remember You") are by the pianist/leader. Miller is joined by bassist Charnett Moffett, drummer Tony Reedus, vibraphonist Steve Nelson and altoist Garrett (who plays flute on one song); percussionist Rudy Bird guests on three numbers. The inventive solos on the fairly complex material and the attractive sound of the ensembles make this a worthy release." Yanow

ReplyDeleteThanks KC..A fitting tribute..This was always one of my fav's amongst so many..His unassuming nature was really quite touching..There a couple of lovely youtube interviews where he talks about his life and work..
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this early Mulgrew album! Truly one of the greatest pianists of his generation!
ReplyDeleteYes, and it's a great loss !I listen to him near Paris, France, a couple of years ago, in a duet concert with kenny Barron, and it was really GREAT.
