Третий альбом неповторимой группы Tape Five. Первая половина альбома глубоко пропитана золотыми двадцатыми, как классический черно-белый фильм. Вокалисты Brenda Boykin, Iain Mackenzie, Henrik Wagner и Yuliet Topaz исполняют новые песни в старых стилях.

В альбом трио Veronneau вошли как собственные сочинения, так и кавера не самых стандартных и часто звучащих композиций, вроде La Javanaise Сержа Генсбура или Moons A Harsh Mistress Джимми Уэбба. Певица Линн Вайроно поет в альбоме на нескольких языках, и ее франкоязычные песни ничуть не менее привлекательны, чем англоязычные, а дуэт с бразильским гитаристом и певцом Джей Пи Сильвой в Voce Abusou/Fais Comme L’Oiseau вообще звучит на двух языках – французском и португальском.

Recorded at Clinton Studios, New York, New York on April 12 & 13, 1988. Originally released on Novus Records. Includes liner notes by Linda Dahl and Stuart Troup. All tracks have been digitally remastered.

Born in Havana, Cuba in 1980, pianist/composer and bandleader Manuel Valera is a forward-minded jazz musician with a knack for combining myriad Latin styles with contemporary jazz and post-bop. Starting out as a saxophonist, Valera switched full-time to piano after moving to the U.S. where he performed with John Patitucci, Paquito D'Rivera, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Chris Potter, Mark Turner and many others. «The Seasons» (2017) is Valera’s twelfth recording as a leader and the second recording with this trio. The first trio recording was the critically acclaimed «Live at Firehouse 12» which was released in 2015 also on MAVO Records. After working together as a trio for almost four years the connection of the trio can be felt throughout the new release. The musical interplay that has developed between these musicians is extraordinary.

Australian-born and New York-based Nicki Parrott is a double threat: She can play the bass very competently, and has a singing voice that shares the relaxed sexiness of Julie London and the coquettishness of Blossom Dearie. She has performed and recorded with the legendary guitarist Les Paul, pianist Rachel Z and her sister Lisa Parrott. For this collection of Burt Bacharach songs, Nicki is supported by John Di Martino on piano, Paul Meyers on guitar, Harry Allen on tenor sax, and Alvin Atkinson on drums.
