about

Tony Hymas had long hoped to play with the untraceable Eric Gravatt, whose imprint on Weather Report is unforgettable. He recorded in Minneapolis "Hope Street MN" with him and Billy Peterson (Bob Dylan, Prince or Bill Carrothers).

« Between dance and silence, rhythmic insistence and harmonic sophistication, collisions of tonalities and methodical paroxysms, the pianist never stops deploy and explore the range of his background (...) With constant, inexhaustible surprises and a multiform liveliness of rhythm. Hardly resistible, then. »
Philippe Carles, Jazz Magazine, June 2002

Depuis longtemps, Tony Hymas espérait jouer avec l'introuvable Eric Gravatt dont l'empreinte dans Weather Report est inoubliable. Il grave à Minneapolis "Hope Street MN" avec lui et Billy Peterson (Bob Dylan, Prince ou Bill Carrothers).

Peu résistible donc. »
