About: Mother (Jacky Terrasson and Stéphane Belmondo album)

Mother is a collaborative studio album of jazz pianist Jacky Terrasson and jazz trumpeter Stéphane Belmondo. The album was recorded in Pompignan, France and released on September 2, 2016 by Impulse! Records. This is Terrasson's second release for Impulse! The album contains 14 tracks, a mix of jazz standards and the originals written by bandmembers. The title track of the album, the melancholic ballad "Mother", has already appeared on Terrasson's album Gouache released in 2012. Originally, the album was supposed to be called Twin Spirit, but the duo chose to name it Mother due to the memory of Terrasson's suddenly deceased mother.
