“Gives me the chills! I feel as though Gato has never left us…” Laura Barbieri, wife of Gato Barbieri

Standards Lost and Found (Volume 2) hosts two compositions by Ornette Coleman (Jayne and When Will The Blues Leave?) a clear homage to the composer, father of free jazz, and an overt demonstration of musical intent and fundamental aesthetic reference. Charlie Parker’s Anthropology is respectfully dedicated to a new interpretation of the more recent jazz tradition from which the four musicians descend, as are the two compositions by Thelonious Monk: ‘Round Midnight and Epistrophy, which, along with Jamal’s fresh New Rhumba however, testify to an already much-transformed tradition. Gato’s In Search of the Mystery and Gato Blues fit perfectly into the set list and reflect the significant role of the Argentine tenor player who in this way places his compositional signature on the record. Jayne is from Coleman’s first album Something Else!!!! fr
