Steve Cardenas - Charlie and Paul (2021) [Official Digital Download 24/88]

"There’s a conversation in the music, there’s interaction, there’s comments throughout." –DownBeat

"Featuring impeccable acoustics and coffee table art cover LP presentation." –Audiophile Audition

There’s so much personality in the music of the great Charlie Haden and Paul Motian. Not in the reductive meaning of the word, implying idiosyncrasy or identifiable devices, rather that listening to their music gives you a palpable sense of having known the artist. This is how an artist can enter a pantheon of sorts. Not through building giant edifices of achievement but by pouring so much of oneself into the music that the music reflects the person.

Steve Cardenas has crafted a tribute to Charlie and Paul in not just the interpretation of their compositions but the level of attention and focus that seems to shimmer off the music. It feels like Charlie and Paul are there in every improvised moment.
