Roswell Rudd

• 4 Panel Digipack

Accompanied by the brilliant pianist Lafayette Harris, upright bass virtuoso Ken Filiano and soulful vocal sensation Fay Victor, the 81-year-old jazz master, Roswell Rudd delivers with rare potency and poignancy on the aptly-titled Embrace.

This intimate, drum-less quartet session is brimming with conversational playing between all the participants, with Rudd and Victor partaking in some particularly interactive exchanges on jazz classics like Billy Strayhorn’s Something to Live For, Charles Mingus’ Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, Thelonious Monk’s beautiful ballad Pannonica,” the standard Can’t We Be Friends and the traditional House of the Rising Sun.
