Eugene Maslov - The Face of Love [CD]

Face of Love finds Maslov incorporating guests Toots Thielemans on harmonica and Shirley Horn on vocals, and interpreting jazz and pop music from '60s icons, adding an occasional innocuous synth wash here and there. Eddie Gomez is back on bass for eight cuts, and Willie Jones, George Schuller, and Steve Williams split up drum chores. Asserting himself as a pyrotechnist, Maslov's fine original playing comes to the forefront.
