Jigsaw (Jeremy Steig)

One of not many outings of flutist Jeremy Steig, with LeeAnn Ledgerwood on piano and Joe Chambers on drums, produced by Walter Becker (Steely Dan). I direct your attention to his take on the seldom heard B. Kaper’s ballad While My Lady Sleep, following closely Coltrane’s 1957 rendition (from «Coltrane») with its characteristic piano-bass ostinato. (Triloka 320190-2, 1991)
