Music to be listened to after midnight, at home, when quiet sounds and voices are the colors of darkness..
This is a splendid album by two giants of jazz music, who chose the format of a duo instead of the big bands, quartets and trios they are accustomed to play with.
Hellen Merill's voice is unique, sensual and deep, evocative and nostalgic. Ron Carter's acoustic bass is the perfect accentuation of Hellen's a capella songs...
The two of them revisit standards such as "A child is born", "Autumn leaves", "My funny Valentine", and they chose a minimalist and intimate approach, where silence plays its own music between the words...
I rediscovered this album yesterday and I love its unique atmosphere, its poetry, its delicate swing and mood.
Hellen Merrill is one of my favorite jazz singers...
