Genre: Jazz | Label: AUM Fidelity

Farmers By Nature is the phenomenal trio of drummer Gerald Cleaver, bassist William Parker, and pianist Craig Taborn. Each are internationally renowned master musicians-improvisers-composers-bandleaders. When they work together as FBN, it is as a complete musical collective; every communion is an auspicious and deeply rewarding event. They are without question one of the finest improvising units/musical groups in the world today. Love and Ghosts is their long-awaited third release following on 2011 s Out of This World s Distortions (AUM067) and was recorded during their inaugural tour of Europe (in Marseille and Besançon, France). The rapidly varying landscapes they traveled through, and more importantly, the blessed ability to freely cross borders as citizen musicians inform the two extraordinarily fertile nights of sound fluency and invention captured in highest fidelity and presented here. Craig Taborn s recognition has risen dramatically since the last Farmers By Nature release due to his ECM Records solo album Avenging Angel and the trio set Chants (also feat. Gerald Cleaver). William Parker s last release was the monumental Wood Flute Songs box set (AUM080/87) of late 2013, and Gerald has continued to astound with his Black Host release (feat. Darius Jones & Cooper-Moore) and world-wide touring with innumerable luminaries. Farmers By Nature remains the premier group which pointedly showcases their astonishing individual and collective improvisational prowess. Sun-ray melodies gently refracting through rippling rhythms, kaleidoscopic fractals, roadhouse abstractions, and an all-aboard! train rapidly laying its own track while nimbly scaling mountains are but some of the countless sonic treasures to be experienced on Love and Ghosts.
