Quale sia la migliore incisione di uno standard, nel jazz, è sempre motivo di discussione. Si dissente e ci si altera, un po’ come quando si parla di calcio.
Poi nascono gli amori inevitabili: che ci inducono a un immediato silenzio. Perché la migliore incisione di uno standard è certamente quella che presto o tardi Bill Charlap suonerà.
Qui lo ha già fatto. Bill Charlap è un gatto che cammina sul pianoforte.
He never seeks to overawe his listener by flashy, extravagant displays of technicque but rather he seeks constantly to tell a story through the medium of his instrument. Every musicial road he travels is enriched by his sense of harmonic exploration. His time is simply glorious and his interpretations of jazz standards are never less than hugely satisfying. This is a trio worthy of greater attention and acclamation, and long may they continue to deliver music of such wonderful quality.
My comment isn't original - I believe Tony Bennett said it for all of us - but Charlap is about as close as one can come to the great Bill Evans. Lush, thick chords, fluid melodic line and progressions - it's all there.
Very nice!

Great Piano playing. If only I was that good!
I also play the bass guitar. The bassist is doing a nice job playing the upright bass.

I'm always delighted by my encounters with Bill Charlap. He's become one of my favorites of the young pianists on the scene today.
