Decca Reviewed 2010-03-13 | ||
Evans is a pianist/composer/arranger with a butter-smooth style and a sophisticated touch. Here he combines original tunes with a tribute to his friend and mentor, Bobby Watson. His trio is tight and fresh and it’s all nicely unpredictable but painted with a fluid line. Good stuff. *1. Striding, midtempo plinky bop w/an odd syncopation. 2. Downtempo and gentle with a creamy, dreamy air. Lovely. *3. Serious drumming highlights this midtempo bounce. *4. Explosive energy, upbeat and fiery. Nice sense of improv, 5. A soft and reflective ballad w/a gentle touch from all. 6. Soft and slow solo piano. Reverent, lyrical, sad but lovely. *7. Rhythm-shifting and tempo-teasing. Starts slow then wanders. 8. A slow and languid ballad. Quiet, fragile, but heartfelt. *9. Polyrhythmic romp w/a highly improvised feel. Cool. 10. Starts slow gets into a midtempo groove. Tres hip. |
