Rolling Cascading Piano Jazz
I really like this album. I'm not very familiar with all of the "new" piano jazz, or much of the old stuff, but I know what I like! The form used is pretty standard: piano-centric ensemble jazz. But the territory charted is meaty, relevant, and fresh, with hardly a stale jazz cliche in sight. I originally bought this CD years ago through the Wayside catalog, and even though I wouldn't expect to actually see it listed here, I thought it was definitely worth giving a positive review. I still enjoy listening to it, and it's just as fresh today. I also like the idea that cool, interesting jazz can be knocked out by a young, hot looking asian woman.
