LOVE & GHOSTS

Farmers By Nature is the phenomenal trio of drummer Gerald Cleaver, bassist William Parker, and pianist Craig Taborn, each an internationally renowned master musician-improviser-composer-bandleader. When they work together as FBN, it is as a complete musical collective; every communion is an auspicious and deeply rewarding event. They are without question one of the finest improvising units in the world today. Love and Ghosts is their long-awaited third release, following 2011 s Out of This World s Distortions, and was recorded during their inaugural tour of Europe that same year. The rapidly varying landscapes they traveled through, and the blessed ability to freely cross borders as citizen musicians, inform the two extraordinarily fertile nights of sound fluency and invention captured in highest fidelity and presented here.
