It’s more like a John Greaves tribute album than anything else! Working with a drummerless acoustic piano/bass/guitar trio starring French pianist Sophia Domancich, along with various guest musicians, Greaves runs through a program of older songs and a few new ones. He does none of the singing, leaving that to friends like Robert Wyatt (who contributes three vocals, including a stunning remake of “Kew. Rhone.”) and Kristoffer Blegvad. This isn’t a bad thing in itself (Wyatt and Blegvad are both stunning interpreters), but it does mean that some of Greaves’ own personality is unfortunately missing from the album. Songs will be a treat for longtime fans, but newcomers are advised to start elsewhere first for the full effect.
