Tom Cunliffe

Jazz and cabaret singer Eden Atwood returns to the Great American Songbook with a splendid collection of romantic ballads and other standards. Pianist Bill Cunliffe contributes the arrangements and leads the backing ensemble of Tom Harrell on flugelhorn and trumpet, Darek Oleskiewciz on bass and Larance Marable on drums.

With his new album, The Blues and the Abstract Truth, Take 2, pianist Bill Cunliffe doesn't so much reinvent a modern jazz classic as open it for incisive interpretation. Working with clean, uncluttered arrangements and a stellar cast of improvisers, Cunliffe explores Oliver Nelson's beloved 1961 album for Impulse!
