About Lovano / Makhathini / Morgan / Cyrille
Lovano / Makhathini / Morgan / Cyrille is a quartet of four bandleaders from different generations and traditions. Joe Lovano, raised in Cleveland, spent years in drummer Paul Motian's trio with guitarist Bill Frisell and has recorded widely as a leader for Blue Note and ECM. Nduduzo Makhathini, from KwaZulu-Natal, records for Blue Note and works from South African jazz and its spiritual strands.
Thomas Morgan is a bassist with a quiet, spacious touch, heard on many ECM sessions. Andrew Cyrille, from Brooklyn, treats the drum kit as a melodic and textural instrument as much as a timekeeper. Together the four favour open, loosely structured pieces in which the pulse and the form can shift as the players listen to one another.
