Description
A rich and moving take on the timeless music of Elton John by some of the jazz world's biggest headliners.
It's impossible to discuss jazz music in the past fifty years without discussing the work of Gil Goldstein, Paul Motian, and Steve Swallow. ObliqSound has brought these three legendary names, led by saxophonist Pietro Tonolo, together for the first time on 'Your Songs - The Music of Elton John'.
Featuring thoughtful takes on Elton John classics like "Tiny Dancer" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", as well as Tonolo orignals inspired by the music of the pop legend.
With careers dating back six decades, members of the quartet have performed and recorded with the likes of Stan Getz, Bill Evans, and Bill Frisell. 'Your Songs - The Music of Elton John' is the latest chapter in both the distinguished history of these musicians, and the eclectic world of ObliqSound.
Personnel: Pietro Tonolo (tenor & soprano saxophone), Gil Goldstein (piano & accordion), Steve Swallow (bass), Paul Motian (drums)
