Recorded in 2000, with more or less the same lineup as Shades Of Bey, and the same richness of repertoire and textures. There are two Milton Nascimento classics, standards like I’ll Remember April and Little Girl Blue, and the sultry original Tuesdays In Chinatown. Top-notch Bey, supported by Ron Carter, Geri Allen, Mino Cinelu and Steve Turre. First time on vinyl. Warmly recommended.

Leading a masterly lineup of John Hicks, Ray Drummond and Idris Muhammad in 1991.
A couple of waltzes, a blues, a Monk-ish suite-like piece, a free-ish drums and clarinet interlude, and finally an elegy for civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer.
Murray plumbs and soars: often it sounds like two different instruments are being played.
Superbly recorded, with gripping warmth and intimacy; originally released in Japan on CD only, by DIW.
Highly recommended.
