Lrk Trio - If You Have A Dream - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

One of the more articulate and thoughtful new trios to emerge in the mainstream in the 21st century - All About Jazz. The Portland-based trio's third further establishes them as a group to watch in coming years. With a deep musical connection, the trio explores lyrical originals letting the mood and intensity develop organically, always with a strong rhythmic foundation. Though referencing rock, pop and R&B influences, Upper Left Trio's music is still firmly rooted in the Jazz of Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans. From quiet, introspective ballads to their rhythmically romping anthems, they always sound like themselves. InchThe music is fresh and simply stated.

For their fourth Origin , Portland, Oregon's Upper Left Trio pushes their hallmark interplay to new dynamic and textural heights. Combining introspection with a hard-hitting rhythmic approach, Ulternative signals the next evolutionary step for this eloquent ensemble of pianist Clay Giberson, bassist Jeff Leonard and drummer Charlie Doggett.

Stravaganza is an exciting journey throughout the most varied affects found in Italian instrumental and vocal music from 1500 to 1700. The unique combination of both arpa doppia and harpsichord, two polyphonic instruments with a wide tradition in Italy at that time, offers a suggestive and innovative performance of this repertoire. Sara Águeda and Javier Núñez achieve an impressive richness of sounds and colors, adding great ingenuity to this wonderful music. Album Tracks 1. Ballo Alla Polacha 2. Se L'aura Spira 3.
