It features several of Robin's enigmatic songs but is mostly focused on fairly short instrumental pieces. The intimacy and improvisational creativity of their music-making is remarkable, as is the realism and beauty of the sound. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis music is hard to classify - it reaches far beyond jazz. The soundworld and poetic vision of Holcomb's songs is linked to American folk music going back centuries, which she probes and references to reflect on the turbulent realities of today. Her pianism, notable for its unique harmonic language, and Lee's texturally gorgeous cello playing, combine a rigorous, contemporary classical focus with the freedom and the extended techniques of avant-jazz. The result is a highly expressive kind of modern art music that invites the listener into the conversation. As Meredith Monk has said about Robin, 'Her music goes to the heart, to the bone and touches the soul.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHolcomb and Lee both have previous releases on Songlines: Robin Holcomb \u0026amp; Wayne Horvitz, Solos (2004); Robin Holcomb and Talking Pictures with Wayne Horvitz, The Point of It All (2010); Peggy Lee, Echo Painting (2018); The Peggy Lee Band, A Giving Way (2023); Waxwing, A Bowl of Sixty Taxidermists (2015); Waxwing, Flicker Down (2021).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eSorrow\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCoin\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBye Bye\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSkipping\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCopper Bottom\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCamptown\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI'm Gonna Lose Again\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eInterlude\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Sweetest Thing\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLarks, They Crazy\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDivine Stall\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eReno\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSilence in the Square\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Point of It All\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTop Hat\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWaltz\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Songlines\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55:53 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 09\/12\/25\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 774355163726\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"SONGLINES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46602634428665,"sku":"SGL1637-2","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/SGL1637-2.jpg?v=1751292262","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/robin-holcomb-peggy-lee-reno-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
