For this project,
Ray Brown is featured in a two-bass trio with fellow bassist
Pierre Boussaquet and the up-and-coming pianist
Jacky Terasson. The unusual combination works quite well with
Brown being the dominant solo voice and the main force behind the music. Included are such songs as "How High the Moon," "America the Beautiful," and "Bye Bye Blackbird" plus a four-song
Duke Ellington medley and a three-tune medley of bossa nova songs. The frameworks are inventive, making this a disc of unusual interest. ~ Scott Yanow
