5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent jazz piano trio and great songs, August 13, 2002

This review is from: Friends Forever: In Memory of Kenny Drew (Audio CD)

I've had this CD for years now and I still listen to it. It has some originals, some jazz standards (like Shadow of your Smile) and even a "jazz version" of a Mozart piece! (Theme from Elvira Madigan is actually a movement from a Mozart Piano concerto). The entire trio is just excellent. Rosnes' piano playing is beautiful and the improvisations enjoyable to listen to. Pedersen on bass is excellent. I love all kinds of jazz and this is one of my all time favorite jazz CDs.

A friend gave me this CD years ago and it has gone on to be a favorite. While its easy its never dull. The whole CD has an amazing feel to it,full, dense but never heavy. The music as played has a lot of interest.

By far the best tune and the one that shows the ability of the entire trio is the really swinging version of an old standard, "Lullaby of the Leaves". The feel is captured from the first chord. Kenny, the signature tune, is well thought out and the arrangement flows. In all, a good addition to any music collection. Get it now.
