Bay Or Rainbows

The 40-year-old Bro - whose initial ECM appearances were on Paul Motian’s Garden of Eden and Tomasz Stanko’s Dark Eyes- released his third studio album on the label as a leader in the spring of 2018: Returnings, which featured the guitarist in league with Morgan, Christensen and trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg. In its review of that disc, DownBeat praised Bro for creating “sound pain rings of depth, warmth and beauty”. These words apply just as well to Bay of Rainbows, along with an added degree of spontaneous dynamism- as Bro’s partnership with Morgan and Baron has only deepened after five years of touring far and wide.
