Django Bates' Beloved

Description:

British pianist Django Bates' return to ECM is with the trio Beloved. This is a piano trio with Swedish bassist Petter Eldh and Danish drummer Peter Bruun, each of whom is a highly regarded player. The trio was formed about 10 years ago, when Bates was teaching at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen. The trio has one song, a reworking of Charlie Parker's M-8, which is performed with reverence, modern flair, and joy, but otherwise all of the music is Bates' original compositions. The compositions and arrangements are brilliant, with a melodic sense that seems to float freely, creating a unique sound. (Personnel) Django Bates (p) Petter Eldh (double bass) Peter Bruun (ds)
