¡Becca Stevens & Elan Mehler
Description
[Machine Translation] Following "Becca Stevens & Atacca Quartet", Becca's new album in two consecutive months is a duo album with her old friend Eran Mehler ( p ). The album features Great American Songbook, folk, blues and more, and is both overwhelming and moving. It is rare that Becca's "songs" and "voice" are so fully expressed in this album, and Eran's piano, influenced by Bill Evans and Paul Bley, harmonizes beautifully and fantastically with the songs. Ilan is a New York-based pianist/composer and co-founder (since 2016) of Newvelle Records, a French label specializing in analog music. The label is also active in Brooklyn, and this is the label's first distributed album. The recording of this album was not originally scheduled for release in September 2019, but it was so great that we decided to release it just for distribution. The physical version of the album will be released only in Japan. Becca and Eran have worked together since 2009 on Eran's album "The After Suite". The idea for this album came from a performance of the album on the US and European tours, as well as an intensive session in Switzerland, where Ealan was living, with Becca, who was amazed by Becca's interpretation of standards and the range of her voice. The idea for this album was born. About 10 years later, a project called Newvelle Recording Sessions was realized within the label, and as part of the project, a chance encounter between the two was realized. The opening track is from "Time: The Revelator" ( 2001 ), a masterpiece that Gillian Welch and her partner David Rawlings created together. The last song on the album is a blues song that many musicians have used in various styles, and it is also based on the version Gillian Welch sang on "Soul Journey" ( 2003 ). Interspersed with these are songs from the repertoire of Gershwin, Ellington, Jimmy Van Heusen, Peter DeRose, and other composers who have made up the Great American Songbook.
