This excellent album finds pianist Kirk Lightsey exploring five standards and his bassist Santi Wilson Debriano's "Nandi" with a solid quartet. Drummer Eddie Gladden is an asset but trumpeter Jerry Gonzales (whose muted statements on four of the six selections recall the lyricism of Miles Davis) often comes close to stealing the show. Lightsey, who sounds particularly strong on the ballads, is the obvious leader and his tasteful yet swinging piano is a joy to hear.

Personnel: Kirk Lightsey (piano), Jerry Gonzalez (trumpet, flugelhorn, congas), Santi Debriano (acoustic bass), Eddie Gladden (drums), Chico Freeman, Don Moye (percussion on "Evidence").

  2. I've just gotten around to listening to this now and find it something of a mixed bag, but some cuts, especially the opener, "Everything Is Changed," and "Estate," are sensational. Admit I'm a sucker for piano and bass or piano and trumpet without any drummer on premises, and Jerry Gonzales's muted trumpted here is gorgeous. Kirk as always -- understated and terrific. Thanks, Giullia.
