Product Description Seattle's preeminent piano trio, New Stories (pianist Marc Seales, bassist Doug Miller and drummer John Bishop), is back with a tribute to their predecessors and inspirations. Included are compositions by Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock in fresh interpretations filtered through the experiences of the intervening years. Here are also three original compositions growing out of the tradition. Three great saxophonists, Don Lanphere, Hans Teuber and Rick Mandyck, join New Stories singly, in pairs and one stunning group shot. The group presents a new take on the classic piano/bass/drums trio, providing a strong group identity that is still flexible enough to provide superior support for soloists. Originally released in 1997. About the Artist Since their inception in 1988, New Stories has divided it's time between performing as a trio and as the backup group to some of the greatest names in jazz. With bebop legend Don Lanphere, they've been doing concerts, recordings and clinics around the U.S. for the last 8 years. A Grammy nominated album is the culmination of a 6 year relationship with singer Mark Murphy & for 3 years they've worked the Northwest and beyond with sax great Ernie Watts. They regularly perform at all of the top NW clubs and festivals including appearances with Tom Harrell, Slide Hampton, Jon Faddis, Bobby Shew, Julian Priester, Buddy DeFranco & many others.

This Music is So Fine, Get it While it's Still Available
How did this fine music not get in my Jazz Collection until now? That's what you'll ask yourself once you have it. This group of three plus the three added horns on various tracks is just wonderful. From the days of Jazz at Port Townsend in the nineties, the trio has developed a sensitivity in ways which exceed its function then as rhythm backing. Horns do a lovely job here with melodies they wrote. Rick Mandyk will squeeze your heart as well as Miles ever did on his under played ballad, Circle, with Bishop's lightly rolling cymbal thunder amid Miller's deepest voice on bass. Marc Seales really heard Herbie play this on Miles Smiles. That tune alone is worth the disc. BWTM! Miller's composition, After Letting Go, brings in the alto of Hans Teuber and tenor of Mandyk. What a lovely tune. The late NW Bird-era icon Don Lamphere lifts his soprano to the Van Huesen gem, Deep in a Dream, with a lovely classic Marc Seales effectively steals in background support. Grab your girl and slow dance or just sit and rock and cry yourself back to 1950 and "may this bliss never end.." Suffice wholeheartedly recommend. Get it while you can and for that matter another one from NS catalogue on Origin Records, Hope is in the Air. Kudos to Don Sickler. Alejandro in Christchurch
