Description
Jazziz magazine Top 10!
Circle the Line features the dynamic composer/performing talents of pianist Simon Nabatov and bassist Ed Schuller, propelled by the drumming of the legendary Paul Motian and the exotic Arto Tuncboyaci.
In addition to six original charts, the band offers compelling renditions of Billy Strayhorn’s “Lush Life” and Mellin & Wood’s “My One and Only Love.”
”I hope that the listener to this recording will agree, and see how extraordinarily beautiful—at times magical—the Brahms’s Horn Trio can be.
— Gunther Schuller
