Recorded on successive nights during May 2009 performances in Dallas and Austin, this album represents a great collaboration between jazz veteran and great piano maestro Curtis Clark and young, but very talented Gonzalez brothers - Aaron and Stefan. Piano trio at it’s best.
It was a magical Autumn day in Vilnius - Mr. Howard Riley was giving his rare solo performance at St. Catherine’s Church. The outcome is this two CD set of deep musical contemplation, freedom and lyricism. After the concert Howard Riley said that this was his best solo performance in many years.
Lithuania seems to have a relatively active jazz life with at least 4 annual festivals and intensive club life. However appearances of truly great internationally recognized musicians performing creative music are rather rare and irregular.
We had been passive participants (spectators and listeners) until our love to music and an experience gained from listening and collecting records prompted a simple solution: to invite our favourite artists to Lithuania.
