Robert Ellis
About This Event
Recorded liveto tape in just two days, Robert Ellis’s exquisite new album, Yesterday’s News, is as stripped-down asit gets, with the celebrated songwriter and producer’s delicate, reedy tenoraccompanied only by nylon string guitar, upright bass, and the occasional pieceof handheld percussion. The arrangements are harmonically sophisticated here,drawing on the open tunings and intricate fingerpicking of English songwriterslike Nick Drake or Richard Thompson, and Ellis’s performances are similarlysubtle and nuanced, tapping into the bittersweet longing of Chet Baker and theplayful poignancy of Bill Evans and Jim Hall.
