Pianist and composer Gabriel Latchin will be touring the music from his new release 'The Moon and I' this spring. Taken from a lyric in Hubbell and Golden’s 'Poor Butterfly', the title is a tip of the hat to the opening tune he performed recently at Wigmore Hall with Christian McBride and Renée Fleming. Continuing with the trio format for his second album as leader, Latchin is supported by a firstcall London rhythm section Dario di Lecce and Josh Morrison on double bass and drums respectively. Longtime collaborators, the trio have developed a unique sound: a hardswinging 1950s aesthetic married with the contemporary vision of Latchin’s compositions. 'The Moon and I' captures a moment in time from the composer’s evolving life. As a new father, his writing is inspired by his growing family: Arthur Go; Pippy’s Delight; Brigi, My Dear. Even the title of his Art Blakey tribute, Peek a Bu, has a childlike twist. These four originals are accompanied by seven unique arrangements of well known jazz standards in his inimitable style.
