Contemplazione

The '81 version is even more beautiful in my opinion. Slower, reflective, it caresses and savors the notes with great affection and wisdom, making me think of a mature man fondly and nostalgically flipping through the photos of his adolescence, from the height of his maturity and his greater wealth of experiences. Nonetheless, the '55 version is essential! It's an explosion of youthful creativity and talent.

You can't not have it! The album as a whole is a wonderful thing, and the ending of the first "track" is brilliant and moving. The version of "I Loves You Porgy" that Jarrett drew inspiration from I truly believe is the one featured in "The Paris Concert-Edition One" by Bill Evans. Always Paris in between... Anyway, "The Melody..." may not be a masterpiece but it is a very sweet album, and it also contains a fantastic version of "I Got It Bad...".

Among my all-time favorite music!

Hi Melissa, sticking to the piano theme, there are some VERY rhythmically captivating ones: Brad Mehldau - "The Art Of The Trio Vol. 2 - Live At The Village Vanguard" and "The Art Of The Trio Vol. 4 - Back At The Vanguard." Or: Michel Petrucciani - "Trio In Tokyo" (which I reviewed), or even McCoy Tyner - "Supertrios," a double LP from '77 that was reissued on a single CD, featuring Ron Carter and Tony Williams in the first trio, and Eddie Gomez and Jack DeJohnette in the second. It doesn't get much more rhythmic than this...

Thank you so much, everyone! DON, such a compliment from a reviewer like YOU flatters me greatly! MULLAH, you are also one of those "old" reviewers who have brought glory to debaser, along with the already mentioned Don, Grass, JoP, Wanderer, Odradek, Hal, etc. What an honor to have you here! I’ve seen the things you’ve reviewed and...wow! Are you sure you’re not another me? ;-) P.S.: why don’t you come back and write something from time to time? ECIO, if you don’t know anything about him, you could start from here, or from "On The Town With The Oscar Peterson Trio," reviewed by Mullah. Hi PAMPAR, I know of the album’s existence but I’ve never listened to it. I never put it on my shopping list because, from what I knew, that album was accused of not being very successful. It’s said that Terry didn’t manage to blend artistically with the trio, not beyond a classic "guest star" role. But now you’ve put a bug in my ear, and by the way, Terry is always a pleasure to listen to...I’ll give it some thought! Thank you.

I forgot

It's Groundhog Day!! Anyway, Tea For One is beautiful.

Enough, come on... all this fuss is a consequence of the provocative post 24, but now we've reached 91, let's cut it out!

Hello Bartle, thank you! Indeed, my main proposal, Pierre Fournier, is a bit out of context since he is primarily a "classical" interpreter... but delicious is delicious anyway. Very delicious! As far as I'm concerned, I've noted the other names suggested by Odradek. I know Tsabropoulos for his participation in the beautiful "The Triangle" by Arild Andersen, and I’m intrigued by the work with Anja Lechner, whom I only know by name. I was already aware of this record and was almost about to get it; now I will probably do so.

Anyway, Supersoul is right. The fact is that when you find the page already full, you might as well pour your disdain into the cesspool... the blame lies with the first commenter. Or the first two or three, who trigger the chain reaction. Or even better, the blame is on the editors who publish them. But in the end, they don’t do any harm here, even if the posts were 1000. Conversely, if someone watches Mario De Filippo on television, they become an accomplice to a serious crime, boosting his ratings. Yes, because then, success after success, we always find him around to deal with. Intelligent people have now given up using television as a medium for cultural content... a forced exile. Except for rare exceptions, like the beautiful program "Passpartout" by Philippe Daverio.
