Synopsis

Album Description
"[A] Boston-born musical globetrotter ... Mariano ... was a Charlie Parker and Johnny Hodges-inspired saxophonist who developed a lifelong interest in Eastern music and brought the oboe-like south Indian nadaswaram to jazz." -- The Guardian "Altoist Charlie Mariano first gained recognition as a cool-toned bop player on the West Coast in the 1950s. After moving to Europe during the next decade, he became a much more eclectic player, exploring world music, fusion, and post-bop, even some music bordering on new age." -- All Music Guide * Charlie Mariano (1923-2009) leaves a great heritage to the jazz world, and music in general, with this recording of his great concert in May 2008.
* This concert marked Mariano's first performance after several months of medical treatment. Held at Theaterhaus in Stuttgart, this very special event featured guitarist Philip Catherine and pianist Jasper van't Hof, reunited with Mariano for the first time in nearly 40 years!
* Mariano, one of the last legends in jazz, passed away in June 2009 at age 85. A unique musician and a unique personality, he will be greatly missed. Charlie Mariano: alto saxophone
Philip Catherine: guitar
Jasper Van't Hof: piano Track Listing: Crystal Bells * The Quiet American * Randy * Mute * L'éternel Désir * Plum Island
