Billy Childs - Rebirth

Over the years, four-time Grammy� Award-winner Billy Childs' career has spanned into the far reaches of the musical spectrum. Garnering critical acclaim along the way, the famed pianist is now returning to his jazz roots with 'Rebirth'- his first outing for Mack Avenue Records. Joined by saxophonist Steve Wilson, bassist Hans Glawischnig, and drummer Eric Harland - along with guests including vocalists Alicia Olatuja and Claudia Acuna, trombonist Ido Meshulam, and percussionist Rogerio Boccato - the album serves as a career retrospective and marks the 40th anniversary of Childs' recording debut with trombone-great J.J. Johnson, while also signaling his return to the small band jazz world and reigniting the transcendent intimacy he recalls from ensembles early on in his career, while updating with a more modern sensibility.
