This highly acclaimed recording features 10 jazz ballads, wonderfully performed and arranged by the CONTEMPO Trio. This group consists of 3 world renown musicians: Mark Soskin, piano; Danny Gottlieb, drums and Chip Jackson, bass; who between them have recorded on over 500 albums to date, with artists ranging from Pat Metheny, to Sonny Rollins, to Sting. This cd is perfect for relaxing jazz listening and background music, but is by no means placid. It's sensitive jazz of the highest level.
