They first worked together in Miles Davis’s band during a brief but memorable stint in 1963! The rhythm section is completed by the impeccably swinging bassist Nat Reeves, while the frontline features Mabern’s prize student and frequent collaborator Eric Alexander on\u003cbr\u003e\ntenor saxophone and, on three tracks, another Mabern protégé, trumpeter Freddie Hendrix. Master percussionist Cyro Baptista completes the line-up with a performance on the opening track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eIn discussing his reimaging of classic tunes and the inspiration for the album, Mabern quotes an unlikely mentor for a jazz musician: Albert Einstein. The famed physicist once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there\u003cbr\u003e\never will be to know and understand.” Mabern took that message to heart, letting his own imagination run free on TO LOVE AND BE LOVED.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ereleased August 25, 2017\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHarold Mabern – piano\u003cbr\u003e\nEric Alexander – tenor saxophone\u003cbr\u003e\nNat Reeves – bass\u003cbr\u003e\nJimmy Cobb – drums\u003cbr\u003e\nFreddie Hendrix – trumpet (tracks 3, 4 \u0026amp; 7)\u003cbr\u003e\nCyro Baptista – percussion (track 1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eRecorded Live April 17, 2017\u003cbr\u003e\nat Sear Sound Studio C, NYC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eProduced by Paul Stache\u003cbr\u003e\nAssociate Producer: Damon Smith\u003cbr\u003e\nRecorded, Mixed \u0026amp; Mastered by Chris Allen\u003cbr\u003e\nStudio Assistant: Jeff CItron\u003cbr\u003e\nCover photography by Jimmy Katz\u003cbr\u003e\nInside photography by Gulnara Khamatova\u003cbr\u003e\nLiner Notes by David R.
