NEW YORK TRIO - ALWAYS

New York Trio - Always

Does any jazz musician alive today (be it player or singer) share more devotedly and mine with deeper conviction that widely-vaunted but too-often- dismissed-with-lip-service Great American Songbook than pianist Bill Charlap? This time the trio focus on the songs of Irving Berlin. As ever, Charlap handpicks several less-than-obvious diamonds-in-the-rough and sensitive singers will hear some of these and intone, "Gimme that leadsheet!"
These series of New York Trio recordings for the Venus label are some of the finest straigh-ahead contemporary trio records, and this one is one of the best.https://rapidshare.com/files/562843755/NYT-Always.zip
