5.0 out of 5 stars Cole Porter played wonderfully, July 24, 2007

Bill Charlap is perhaps the greatest jazz pianist today. I can't get enough of him. These Japanese Venus recordings with 24 bit Hyper Magnum Sound are great, pristine and flawless, although sound very close-miked in a way that is a little unnatural. Small quibble for such fine listening pleasure. This is the fifth in a series beginning about 2001 with the New York Trio. It sure lets you hear the details and the music is wonderful. The selections here are tasteful and compatible - what a way to hear Cole Porter! Bill is up to his usual excellent form, and the trio working here plays this all Cole Porter standard session with such deep understanding of them as well as obvious enjoyment. He really does have an encyclopedic knowledge of jazz song from the American Songbook. It's great to listen to such excellent musicians having fun making great music together. If you haven't heard him before, I'd recommend starting with his latest 'Live at the Village Vanguard', which will wet your appetite for lots more. Enjoy this master of jazz song.

This review is from: Begin The Beguine (Audio CD)

The quality of the playing and the quality of the sound is beyond great!!! Yes, there are no liner notes as Amazon has done a CD-R. The Japan CD of this would cost around $35-$40,and the notes could not be read, unless your from Japan. Bravo to Amazon for making these Venus Cd's at $13.00.The Eddie Higgins CD's are just as GREAT sounding. I now have a total of 6 of The New York Trio and 9 of Eddie Higgins Trio. I also love the Black & White Photos with that 1940's look and style.
