Bassist Parker tries the piano-trio format. Fans of the ECM label, take note. The result is calm and often soft, with plenty of open-air improvising but following traditional piano-trio rules. Pianist Eri Yamamoto provides a gentle touch in a mellow Keith Jarrett vein; many tracks have that same soulful stride to them. (Post-script: In 2006, Yamamoto released a trio CD on Thirsty Ear titled "Cobalt Blue" ... similar stuff to "Luc's Lantern" but with Yamamoto as the leader. Nice stuff.) 1- Lushly aggressive, midtempo 2- Slow, gentle 3- A bit stormy 4- Happy shuffle, w/slightly edgy piano solo 5- Quick-footed 6- A pleasant stride, midtempo 7- Tangly swing, happy. Gets a bit wild. 8- Slow, gentle 9- Midtempo bluesy groove 10- Drifty miniature | ||
