Review

CMJ (p.8) - "[T]he fact that, at 71, Bley continues to innovate while still sounding timeless is this record's greatest accomplishment."
Down Beat (p.59) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]ith some of the dispassionate slyness, but also with the weird personality, circus-like elements, in-joke quotes and adoration of a good, simple, unexpected harmony."
JazzTimes (p.134) - "The fact that Fresu fits seamlessly into Bley's band the Lost Chords proves that he is an unusually brainy sensualist. And the purity and warmth and soulfulness of his sound make Bley's lyricism less ambiguous."

Title Note

Personnel: Carla Bley (piano); Andy Sheppard (soprano, tenor saxophone); Paolo Fresu (trumpet, flugelhorn); Steve Swallow (bass guitar); Billy Drummond (drums).

The curious title of Carla Bley's 2007 release THE LOST CHORDS FIND PAOLO FRESU is meant quite literally, since Bley's quartet the Lost Chords recruited Italian trumpeter Paolo Fresu for the sessions. Fresu's clear, lyrical tone perfectly complements Bley's gorgeous compositions and the playing of saxophonist Andy Sheppard, drummer Billy Drummond, and bassist Steve Swallow. The wittiness of titling six tunes after bananas ("One Banana," "Two Banana," etc.) belies the depth, complexity, and pure lyrical beauty of the music.
