Preserved for decades within the Jordi Sunol Archives and now finally released, this recording stands as a vital document of a trio whose chemistry was nothing short of extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross a generous programme of standards, originals, and compositions by Thelonious Monk, the trio demonstrates an effortless command of the jazz language. Barron's lyrical touch and harmonic sophistication are matched by Drummond's melodic bass lines and Riley's refined, responsive drumming - creating a dialogue that feels both spontaneous and deeply rooted in tradition. From exhilarating up-tempo moments to deeply expressive ballads, every performance unfolds with a sense of narrative and emotional clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than just a live recording, So Many Lovely Things offers a rare glimpse into the art of trio interplay at its highest level. The music breathes, stretches, and evolves in real time, revealing the kind of collective intuition that only years of collaboration can produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA long-lost treasure, now brought to light, this album is essential listening for jazz enthusiasts and a testament to the enduring brilliance of Kenny Barron and his collaborators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenny Barron: piano\u003cbr\u003eRay Drummond: Bass\u003cbr\u003eBen Riley: drums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded at the Brecon Jazz Festival, Christ College Auditorium, Brecon, Wales, August 12, 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2LP set Tracks: Oh Look At Me Now \/ Up Jumped Spring \/ Shufe Boil \/ Time Was \/ Silent Rain \/ Ask Me Now \/ Nikara's Song \/ The Surrey With The Fringe On Top \/ The Very Thought Of You \/ Canadian Sunset\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ELEMENTAL MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47029845983388,"sku":"5990564","price":55.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/2_f73eb608-62a2-405a-84ff-ac022b057d3a.webp?v=1780688916","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/kenny-barron-ray-drummond-ben-riley-so-many-lovely-things-live-in-brecon-2lp-set","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
