A beautifully warm snatch of the latest album, above, from guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel on his remarkable new project Rising Grace to be released by ECM in October.

It’s an incredibly high powered band as it features not only young trumpet star Ambrose Akinmusire but also pianist Brad Mehldau and Brad’s trio bassist Larry Grenadier and completing the quintet drummer Brian Blade from the Wayne Shorter Quarter and no stranger to playing with Muthspiel.

The album includes a tribute to Kenny Wheeler (‘Den Wheeler, Den Kenny’) and a new Mehldau composition ‘Wolfgang’s Waltz.’
