Album Details

While violinist Billy Bang's reputation in jazz circles was secured decades ago with his seminal recordings on such labels as Black Saint/Soul Note and Celluloid, he has enjoyed recent notoriety with his two most recent works, Vietnam - The Aftermath and its successor, Vietnam: Reflections.

This recording, captured live in April, 2003 in Grand Rapids Michigan, features other material - three signed Bang and one Frank Lowe origi¬nal, "Nothing But Love." This is also the late lamented tenorman's last recording.

La réputation du violoniste de jazz Billy Bang n’est plus a faire, lui qui a enregistré par le passé sur les étiquettes Black Saint, Soul Note et Celluloid…

Ses 2 albums précédents pour Justin Time , VIETNAM- THE AFTERMATH et VIETNAM- REFLECTIONS n’ont fait qu’accroître davantage sa notoriété. Cet enregistrement public enregistré a Grand Rapids, Michigan en 2003 regroupe 3 compositions de Billy et une de Frank Lowe, le réputé saxophoniste décédé peu après.
