A. Paying tribute to giants like Benny Carter, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Billy Strayhorn and Jon Hendricks, at the same time enriching their compositions with a new language. She is backed by two rhythm sections, consisting of bass players John Clayton and Chuck Berghofer, drummers Willie Jones III and Joe La Barbera and pianists Tamir Hendelman and Gerald Clayton. Saxophonist James Moody guests on two numbers and even contributes some inspired scatting. This album is a real masterpiece that was recorded live on tape over two afternoons in L. A. Just a few observations will suffice to establish the quality of this musical rendezvous. With On The Sunny Side Of The Street, Gambarini brilliantly reworks the Gillespie composition Sonny Side Up, reprising the original solos of Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins with brand new lyrics, and capturing, unerringly and full of esprit, the high tones of Dizzy's trumpet. In Centerpiece, she enters into a dialogue with Moody's saxophone, then he embarks on a spontaneous scatting adventure with his partner. Their teamwork in the erotic Lover Man works just as magnificently. With Multi-Colored Blue, she roams effortlessly up and down the bluesy scale and in Monk's Prayer \/ Looking Back, she succeeds in offering a magical and intimate finale for Thelonious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCollectors LP -Limited Edition, only 1999 worldwide, each LP is numbered and signed by Roberta Gambarini.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003e180 Gram Virgin Black Vinyl, Mastered \u0026amp; Pressed in Germany.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeaturing:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTamir Hendelman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGerald Clayton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Clayton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChuck Berghofer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWillie Jones III\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoe La Barbera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand Special Guest James Moody\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEASY TO LOVE\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy to Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Only Trust Your Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lover Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e On the Sunny Side of the Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Porgy I's Your Woman Now \/ I Loves You Porgy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lover Come Back to Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Two Lonely People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Centerpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e No More Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Smoke Gets in Your Eyes \/ All the Things You Are\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Too Late Now\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Multi-Colored Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Monk's Prayer \/ Looking Back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e  ","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53094451183952,"sku":"7.99E+11","price":9.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/2762\/2480\/files\/4117999-2864525.jpg?v=1780364089","url":"https:\/\/noirrecordsuk.com\/products\/roberta-gambarini-easy-to-love-1","provider":"Noir Records Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
