One of two stunning CDs of solo piano recorded by Kenny Werner for Steeplechase -- upon hearing it one wonders why this brilliant pianist isn't more widely known. His takes of great standards such as "If I Should Lose You" and "My Romance" are very refreshing and strikingly original. His masterpiece is a breathtaking reworking of "Yesterdays," although the phenomenal rendition of "What Is This Thing Called Love?" and the reflective, imaginative take of "Naima" are equally impressive. For anyone not familiar with Kenny Werner, this CD should serve as a great introduction. ~Ken Dryden

Thx, never heard him solo!
ReplyDeleteCheers Daniel, from Spain...
Fourcade, if you've never heard KW solo before, go immediately to his 2010 "Love Songs," also here on SD. It's gorgeous. We consider it perfect sunset music. Am sure it will work to the same effect in Madrid.
