Search - Jeff Colella, Putter Smith :: Lotus Blossom

This recording offers a rare opportunity to eavesdrop on a conversation between two master improvisers. Pianist Jeff Colella and bassist Putter Smith are two original and uniquely compatible musical voices. The mix of standards and originals that Jeff and Putter have chosen beautifully showcase what these artists can do with a nod to the past and an eye on the present and beyond. Included are well known compositions by Michel Legrand, Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Ray Noble and Billy Strayhorn, and three original works, one each by Mr. Smith and Mr. Colella, and one by the incomparable guitarist Larry Koonse.
