CD: Bells on Sand

On his second Blue Note album, pianist Gerald Clayton wants to deal with the effects of the abstract power of time. Supporting him are none other than his mentor Charles Lloyd on saxophone, his father John Clayton on bass, Justin Brown on drums and, for the first time, MARO on vocals. You'll hear originals, pieces by Catalan composer Federico Mompou and Gerald's uncle Jeff Clayton, as well as two stunning solo piano versions of the standard "My Ideal."
