We Will Make a Home for You

We Will Make a Home for You is an album by jazz pianist Pandelis Karayorgis, which was recorded between 2002 and 2003 and released on the Portuguese Clean Feed label. It was the debut recording by mi3, a trio with bassist Nate McBride and drummer Curt Newton. According to Karayorgis, he plays Fender Rhodes partly out of necessity, since the Abbey Lounge had no piano, and partly out of curiosity for the effect it would have on the music. The album includes covers of pieces by Thelonious Monk, Hasaan Ibn Ali and Eric Dolphy.[1]

Reception

edit

The All About Jazz by Mark Corroto says "The inside/outside take on music, especially Monk, is served well by Karayorgis' use of distortion and wah pedals. This now seemingly very old-school sound get a boost with all the effects laid down."[2]
