Following up their acclaimed debut (Arctic Riff 2020) the ECM dream-team combo of US tenor veteran Joe Lovano and the polish Marcin Wasilewski trio return for a studio set recorded fresh from adventures on the road. “The music throughout the week was unfolding every night in a very special way. So when we went into the studio, we were able to capture an exceptional, concentrated five-hour moment.” — Joe Lovano
Homage mines a deep vein of naturally unfolding, intuitive interplay that creates space for open passages of improvisation from a quartet deeply comfortable in each other’s company.
It’s another fine addition to Lovano’s extraordinary catalogue.
This is our album of the week for the week commencing 5th May 2025
