`I'm not a jazz musician,' said Robert Wyatt once, `but it's the fountain from which I drink, so I piss some of it out in my records.'
Robert Wyatt collaborates with saxophonist Gilad Atzmon, violinist Ros Stephen, and Stephen's Sigamos String Quartet.
Atzmon has previously played on Wyatt's albums and collaborated with Stephen on Gilad With Strings, a project honouring Charlie Parker's dalliance with classical orchestration.
The 11 tracks include seven jazz standards(Laura, In a Sentimental Mood,What a Wonderful World), two originals(The Ghosts Within being the best IMHO) and two jazzy reworkings of Wyatt originals(Maryan, At last I am free).
Wyatt sings on 9 tracks and whistles on one, Atzmon plays on most of the tracks one or more of soprano and alto sax, clarinet, bass clarinet and accordion.
The music is dreamy, restrained, reflective, lush, spiced with Atzmon's Middle Eastern accents.
Wyatt's version of "What a Wonderful World" is a very nice surprise too.
The approach is unconventional, but the result is beautiful chamber jazz.
An album for the late hours of the day.
Like new - Fantastic state of the art sound quality
