A Beautiful Friendship is a wonderful, swinging mainstream/bebop piano trio album. Pianist Lenore Raphael has the ability to create new tunes out of timeless standards and make them fresh and her own. The album title reflects the relationship between the musicians. The interplay between the piano, bass and drums tells us that these are three people who have worked together often and enjoy the ride. Ballads are pure emotion; up tempo tunes are swinging and full of joy.
