After “Looking for America”, an album for big band that had taken three years to write, I had to look for a new project. It was time to do something with a small group. Playing duets with Steve Swallow was too hard, and Steve and I had already toured and recorded as a trio with Andy Sheppard. The next size up was a quartet. The obvious move was to
add Billy Drummond, who had already played drums with 4 x 4 and the big band, to the trio.

When my agent in Europe asked me what the group would be called, the answer came to me instantly: The Lost Chords.

Contemporary piano star Jim Brickman presents 'Never Alone'–featuring the very first hit single cut by Lady Antebellum,
as well as stunning collaborations with Marc Antoine, Carnie Wilson and Gerald Levert. The album is puled together around
Jim's powerfully emotional songwriting and his singular piano style.

Streams of Expression reunites Lovano with the great composer, conductor, and musicologist Gunther Schuller (their first collaboration was Rush Hour, Blue Note, 1995), and draws upon everything from the cool school to late-era Coltrane, offering a holistic take on jazz, present and future. The album is comprised of two extended, multipart pieces (Streams of Expression Suite, Birth of the Cool Suite) and three stand-alone tunes (Blue Sketches, Buckeyes, Big Ben) and features an augmented incarnation of Lovano's nonet from the albums 52nd Street Themes (2000) and On this Day . . . At the Vanguard (2003). Three of the tracks showcase Lovano in a trio setting, recalling his Trio Fascination series, regarded as a contemporary classic.

In sheer beauty of playing, this new account has the edge over all of its rivals . . . Sound-wise, this is the work's finest recording yet –
surpassing even the excellent sound on Gianandrea Noseda's lacklustre account and an 'easier' listen than Simon Rattle's Berlin remake
. . . Harding's booklet interview offers a fair number of insights . . .
