{"product_id":"this-time-the-dreams-on-me","title":"This Time the Dream's on Me","description":"Personnel: Larry Willis (piano); Billy Fazioli (piano).\u003cbr\u003eLiner Note Author: Larry Willis.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: The Fazioli Concert hall, Sacile, Italy (11\/12\/2011-11\/13\/2011).\u003cbr\u003ePhotographer: Alan Nahigian.\u003cbr\u003eLarry Willis mixes standards, jazz classics, and potent originals on this solo piano release. The sessions have a late-night, ruminative flavor, starting with a loping take of \"This Time the Dream's On Me.\" His shimmering rendition of \"Lazy Afternoon\" opens with a spacious improvised introduction, while he makes great use of space in his interpretation of this ballad. The Ellington-Strayhorn songbook is represented by the former's whispering \"The Single Petal of a Rose\" and the latter's haunting \"Lotus Blossom,\" both played with restraint, as these timeless pieces require few embellishments. The pianist's originals are just as impressive. \"Sanctuary\" was written for a project that included strings, though his moving solo piano arrangement is no less moving, suggesting an idyllic, isolated beach hideaway on a clear summer afternoon. \"Blues for Marco,\" named for his co-producer, has a whimsical air, while \"Silly Blues\" starts like a ballad but quickly shifts to a laid-back, closing-hour blues. Recorded over two days on a top-notch Fazioli grand piano, this solo piano CD is easily among Larry Willis' best recordings. ~ Ken Dryden","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46156217057567,"sku":"632375723828","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/be23b5d1ba37f2775810929108886ed3_24bdf0d5-5f7a-41c3-bada-07485cc92a9f.jpg?v=1777858025","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/this-time-the-dreams-on-me","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
