The encounter with 4 formidable pianists, often fellow travelers in the past, and percussionist Luc Vanden Bosch makes this recording a brand new concept in the evolution of Phil Abraham's international career.
The trombonist and singer has performed in many countries, including several times in the USA (Seattle, New York, Los Angeles) and recently in China.
His reputation is well established, both as a sideman for Michel Petrucciani, Clark Terry, Art Farmer, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Charles Aznavour and others, and as a leader, with 11 albums to his name.
The complicity and friendship that bind him to Ivan Paduart, Bas Bulteel, Johan Clement and Christoph Mudrich make this new album another step for Phil Abraham towards the achievement of a personal and original style in today's jazz landscape.
"What is it to think of the trombone when the musician is able to translate almost every potential mood? Lyricism, derision, zest for life, sensuality–these are just some of the character traits expressed with real verve and undeniable class by Phil Abraham."
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Renaud Houben at Studio Pyramide in Beersel, Belgium
Produced by Phil Abraham
