{"product_id":"naim-label-laurence-hobgood-trio-crazy-world","title":"Naim Label Laurence Hobgood Trio: Crazy World","description":"The Laurence Hobgood Trio have perfected their craft through playing with US jazz vocalist Kurt Elling, who appears on two tracks on Crazy World, the trio’s debut album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaurence is no stranger to The Naim Label, having recorded several highly acclaimed albums under it.\u003cbr\u003eHis beautifully light touch is a joy to listen to; fingers which dance over the keys proving to be the perfect third element for bass and drums. Laurence’s pianism with its shimmering arpeggios, advanced harmonies and pervasively singing tone is vaguely reminiscent of Keith Jarrett or Bill Evans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrank Parker’s elegant drumming together with Rob Amster’s fluid bass playing combine to produce jazz that is relaxed and distinguished, imprinted with an Olympic calm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ten tracks on the album are a mixture of Laurence’s original compositions and his own arrangements, with one track by Rob Amster.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSix times Grammy nominee Kurt Elling makes a guest appearance to provide delicate vocal inspiration on two tracks recorded exclusively for this album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrazy World is another addition to the label’s True Stereo catalogue. It was recorded by Ken Christianson direct to two track Nagra tape machine.","brand":"Naim Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57407251513676,"sku":"NaimCD084","price":10.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1053\/6891\/2204\/files\/naimcd084.jpg?v=1777455873","url":"https:\/\/www.stoneaudio.co.uk\/products\/naim-label-laurence-hobgood-trio-crazy-world","provider":"Stone Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
