Pannonica. Laurent Courthaliac Trio W/ Ron Carter
) | Label: Jazz Village Catalog: JV570023 Format: CD Laurent Courthaliac Trio, Ron Carter (bass)Pannonica Different stories of love, art and family populate this recording, which resonates like a prestigious, vintage Grand Cru. Pianist Laurent Courthaliac pays tribute to be-bop and its patron muse, the baroness Pannonica de Koeenigswarter – "Nica" – whose granddaughter Nadine designed the artwork. The repertoire mixes and mingles Courthaliac's originals with those of jazz giants from that time, including iconic legend Thelonious Monk. The trio, led by its pianist (sublime quality guaranteed: bassist Ron Carter performs on two thirds of the tracks), guides us through the intricacies of an era and style that goes beyond modern.
