Benvenuti a un nuovo appuntamento della serie Original Tribute, interamente dedicato al suono profondo, inconfondibile e profondamente umano di uno dei più grandi maestri del contrabbasso nella storia del jazz: Charlie Haden.

In quest'ora ripercorriamo i momenti salienti della sua carriera: dagli esordi folgoranti e l'esperienza con i Jazz Messengers di Art Blakey in "Ms. B.C.", ai capolavori degli anni '80 come "Father Time" e "Delfeayo's Dilemma". Spazio all'eleganza delle ballad in sordina con "Where Or When", fino al groove travolgente della tradizione di New Orleans ("Bourbon Street Parade"), la maestosità della Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra ("BACK TO BASICS") e l'incredibile velocità di "Cherokee".

The journey continues through New Orleans street rhythms ("Bourbon Street Parade"), grand big band arrangements with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra ("BACK TO BASICS"), and lightning-fast mastery on "Cherokee".
