Description

The beauty of waltz forms and European folk traditions, combined with the excitement of great improvisation, marks this recording as the culmination of twelve years of Gerry Hemingway performing with his Quintet.

Hemingway was a member of the path-breaking Anthony Braxton Quartet from 1983-95. His work also includes recordings/performances with Fred Hersch, Kenny Wheeler, John Cale, Ray Anderson, Reggie Workman, and Don Byron.

(Also hear Gerry Hemingway on GM 3033 – Fred Hersch/Michael Moore/Gerry Hemingway: Thirteen Ways.)

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
