Recordings:
The Willow
OmniTone, 2001
Saturn's Child
OmniTone, 1999
Frank Kimbrough / Joe Locke Duo
Upcoming release:
In their first live recording, the piano-vibes duo of Frank Kimbrough and Joe Locke, described by the press as "stunning" and "lumnious," present the gentler side of "adventurous and listenable." Verrazano Moon, their third CD for OmniTone, is a well-balanced mix of originals and standards yielding deliciously rich and beautiful music that both sophisticated listener and good music lover will enjoy time and again.
Frank Kimbrough / Joe Locke: "Verrazano Moon"
I love playing music with Frank Kimbrough. His playing is so relaxed and
he is incredibly supportive. Our first recording, Saturn's Child, came
about as the result of a conversation we had. Both of us felt our music
collections lacked recordings which maintained a tranquil feeling.We wanted to do a project whose mood was langorous and peaceful, but was artistically substantive. We went into the studio and came out 5 hours later with Saturn's Child.
Our most recent CD, The Willow, features the duo, augmented by Tim Ries on woodwinds and Jeff Ballard on hand percussion. Here again, the focus is on melody. Besides our own originals, the cd features a gorgeous Tim Garland composition, "The Moon For Her", and the title track, which was penned by Maria Schneider.
Frank Kimbrough is a founding member of The Jazz Composers' Collective in New York City. To learn more about him, visit his website.
"These luminous duets offer plenty of substance and creativity ...
mellow but interesting, complex but not cluttered, and frequently
lovely. Saturn's Child may inspire new appreciation for the importance
of balance and touch."
