“The compositions on pianist Lluis Capdevila’s new recording are gloriously of a piece—elegant, sensual, soulful and smart. Accompanied by just bassist Petros Klampanis (also on percussion), with Tom Harrell on flugelhorn on one track, Capdevila plays quietly and simply with a ‘cinematic’ sense of line and space. Think of the recently departed Michel Legrand and the way he blended popular, jazz, classical and film music elements and you’ll get a sense of how Capdevila approaches composition and improvisation here. Even the tunes that have a bit of a bounce brilliantly settle into serene romantic grooves.” Doland Elfman, The New York City Jazz Record.
