A Lovesome Thing

This one-and-only recorded collaboration between jazz greats Geri Allen and Kurt Rosenwinkel took place live at the famed Philharmonie de Paris in 2012. The two play as if with one mind. Geri spoke often of her desire to do a studio recording to document the ‘flow and freedom’ she experienced playing with Kurt that night in Paris. Unfortunately, we lost her before that studio session ever materialized, but fortunately, that concert was recorded.

The acoustics in the hall are magnificent. Produced by Kurt Rosenwinkel and Motéma’s Jana Herzen and dedicated to Geri’s memory, this album is truly a ‘lovesome thing’ for fans of Geri, of Kurt, and of piano and guitar jazz fans at large.
