CHARLIE HADEN - JOHN TAYLOR - NIGHTFALL (180g IMP LP)

CHARLIE HADEN/JOHN TAYLOR/NIGHTFALL *180G IMPORT*

The Naim Label has once again achieved the significant coup of recording with one of the world's best known and most respected double bassists in the world, Charlie Haden. Nightfall is an album of musical beauty; an uplifting combination of John's dancing fingers and Charlie's trademark resounding bass and finger slaps. The tracks are all by Charlie or John, with the exception of 'My Love and I' a love song from 'Apache' and a composition from Williams Walton's orchestral suite for Laurence Olivier's Henry V, 'Touch Her Soft Lips'. Nightfall is a celebration of the musical simplicity that comes from recording the double-bass and piano live to a two track stereo tape recorder. Every tone and phrase is there, from John's improvisation through plucking the piano strings on 'Chairman Mao' to Charlie's beautiful yet eerie bowing on 'Song For The Whales'.
