Info for Standards: What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?
Der aufstrebende Star-Bassist Alexander Claffy (Christian Scott, Joey Alexander) veröffentlicht eine straight-ahead Platte, die der legendäre Bassist Ron Carter alles andere als Standard nennt. Die zweite Aufnahme des Bass-Phänomens Alexander Claffy enthält eine Sammlung bekannter Standards, die sich über mehrere Generationen erstrecken, von der Tradition des amerikanischen Liederbuchs bis zu Jazz-Klassikern aus der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts bis hin zu einem Beatles-Liebling. Nach seinem Debütalbum, dessen Fokus auf einer Mischung aus zeitgenössischen Soul- und Hip-Hop-Einflüssen liegt, konzentriert sich Alexander Claffy nun darauf persönlichen Lesungen und zeitlose Melodien mit einem zeitgemäßen Ansatz zu aktualisieren.
