| Description |
|
|
Imagine Chopin and Chick Corea by way of a mélange of French, Spanish, and Italian influences, all played by a Texas jazzman and recorded in Monte Carlo. It could have been a mess but it’s anything but. John Gentry Tennyson’s subtle, impressionistic improvisations include "Milonga Sinistra," a dramatic tango with bandoneon and string quartet; two arrangements of the lyrical classical ballad "Vesna e Zorica" for ensemble and solo piano; the stormy "La Mer à Monaco"; the blue bossa “Fortunato” and more. “Plays like a lush foreign film score, complete with sweeping romantic scenes, elegant reflective solo piano moments, and a few dashing rhythmic surprises along the way.”—All Music Guide
