On this companion soundtrack to the PBS documentary, pianists Bill Charlap and Hank Jones display their solo chops on the stridish \"Fantastic Rhythm\" and the soulful \"Satin Doll\" and reprise the great Ellington-Strayhorn four-hand piano workout, \"Tonk.\" Vocalist Dianne Reeves and guitarist Russell Malone brilliantly navigate the harmonic challenges of the title track, while she and her rhythm section dance \"Something to Live For\" with an Ahmad Jamal bounce. Tenor saxophonist Ben Webster would approve of Joe Lovano's quartet rendition of \"Chelsea Bridge,\" featuring Jones, bassist George Mraz, and drummer Paul Motian. Lovano and Charlap anchor Elvis Costello's languid lyrics on \"My Flame Burns Blue (Blood Count),\" adding another interpretive layer to the eternal artistry of this compelling and confounding musician. --Eugene Holley, Jr.\n\nProduct Description\n\nBilly Strayhorn: LUSH LIFE, the soundtrack, features 15 Strayhorn compositions performed by several of today's jazz stars, including Blue Note artists Bill Charlap, Joe Lovano, and Dianne Reeves, as well as piano legend Hank Jones and a special guest Elvis Costello.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000LSAJ52\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000LSAJ52.N\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Various Artists\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dream Books Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41500172484666,"sku":"DBV.B000LSAJ52.N","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.dreambooksco.com\/products\/billy-strayhorn-lush-life-original-soundtrack","provider":"Dream Books Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
