| This is number 7 of the OWL series.
Snippets of a conversation, snapshots of an encounter : Joe Lovano and Aldo Romano, in the style of the most traditional, and yet the most exhilharating tale-spinners, give us ten short stories, the result of ninety minutes of complete improvisation.
Reviews:
Ten Tales (Sunnyside) features the spontaneous outpourings of drummer Aldo Romano and tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano. Recorded in a Paris studio in 1989, the album parses one 90-minute improvisation into 10 discrete and surprisingly self-contained tracks. Melody is never far from the forefront here, thanks to Lovano's deep lyricism and Romano's easygoing pulse.
