Ten-date tour begins in February
By JazzTimes
Ralph Towner will release a new solo guitar album, titled My Foolish Heart, through the ECM label on Feb. 3. The recording, produced by ECM founder Manfred Eicher, features Towner on classical and 12-string guitars. Among the program’s 11 tracks are two older compositions with roots in the band Oregon, “Shard” and “Rewind”; “Blue as in Bley,” a tribute to the late pianist-composer Paul Bley; and the title standard. That tune’s masterful and influential interpretation by the Bill Evans Trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian impacted Towner’s playing and concept profoundly.
