SKYLINE
The jazz piano trio is alive and well! Skyline, the new CD from Bennett Paster, Gregory Ryan and Keith Hall emphatically proves it. Recorded in Brooklyn, NY, this recording showcases three talented young musicians who have a broad vision of modern jazz. These guys really swing, but they also cover significantly more ground. In their insightful, melodic original compositions, Paster, Ryan and Hall incorporate R&B, funk and Latin grooves authoritatively. In addition, they've included their interpretations of three favorite standards: Coltrane's "Naima," Bernstein's "Some Other Time" and Oliver Nelson's "Yearnin'." This CD lives up to its promise: the sonic fidelity is crystal-clear, the playing is masterful and the groove always feels good.
