As equally respected as Charlie, John is probably best known for his work with the ECM label, having founded his trio Azimuth in the late 70s with Norma Winstone and Kenny Wheeler. John is currently a member of Kenny Wheeler's quartet and large ensemble, and performs in duo and quartet settings with John Surman.

Nightfall is an album of musical beauty; an uplifting combination of John's dancing fingers and Charlie's trademark resounding bass and finger slaps. The tracks are all by Charlie or John, with the exception of ‘My Love and I' a love song from ‘Apache' and a composition from Williams Walton's orchestral suite for Laurence Olivier's Henry V, ‘Touch Her Soft Lips'.

Nightfall is a celebration of the musical simplicity that comes from recording the double bass and piano live to a two track stereo tape recorder. Every tone and phrase is there, from John's improvisation through plucking the piano strings on 'Chairman Mao' to Charlie's beautiful yet eerie bowing on ‘Song For The Whales'.
