Pianist Renee Rosnes, Billy Drummond (who was married to Rosnes at the time), and Ray Drummond (no relation to Billy) performed together on and off in New York since 1990. They realized they had something very special between the three -- the musical sympathy was palpable -- they approached producer Todd Barkan, and the collaboration led to three wonderful albums released by Videoarts.
A Beautiful Friendship, recorded in 2001, was The Drummonds' third CD. As are the group's other two albums, the materials are well-known jazz standards except for "Everything," Japanese pop singer Misia's hit tune from 2000. This kind of music tends to be somehow undervalued in the US, but their creative arrangements and collective improvisations are inspired and exciting. Recommended to lovers of piano trio jazz, and a must-have reissue for fans of Renee Rosnes!
