I´ve known rivers
Beskrivning:Pianisten Billy Childs har hämtat albumtiteln från en dikt av Langston Hughes, som reciteras av Wren Brown. Sångerskan Dianne Reeves medverkar också på ett spår.
"Here's a fun parlor trick: play this 1995 session for someone who doesn't know Billy Childs and ask who the leader of the session is. Nine times out of ten, they'll pick reedsman Bob Sheppard, whose soprano sax, clarinets, and flutes are at the foreground of every one of these eight tracks....This leaves pianist and composer Billy Childs sounding like nothing more than a sideman on his own album. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as the little-known Sheppard is actually a gifted soloist whose best work recalls the pan-musical sensibilities and lyricism of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's most delicate work, although he's obviously nowhere near so distinctive a player..."
