NotesA stunning follow-up album to ex-Concord vocalist Eden Atwood's debut CD for Groove Note, the bossa nova-inspired "Waves" (GNR #1012 & #10123), "This Is Always" is an outstanding exploration of the art of the ballad. Deeply soulful and extraordinarily heartfelt, Eden's singing reaches great emotional depths and is perfectly supported by the lyrical and sensitive playing of the great New York-based trumpeter Tom Harrell - his performances are a major highlight of this album. Features arrangements by 2002 Grammy nominee Bill Cunliffe (piano), Darek Oles (bass) and Larance Marable (drums).
