Editorial Reviews

Product Description


In the follow-up to her debut trio recording, So Glad To Be Here, pianist and composer Leslie Pintchik returns on her new SACD Quartets with two different quartets. The powerful band-mates from her debut CD return - Scott Hardy on bass and Satoshi Takeishi on percussion. Added to the mix on the new CD are the superb - and deservedly acclaimed - saxophonist Steve Wilson, as well as the exceptional drummer Mark Dodge. The project, which once again features Pintchik's strong original compositions, as well as three unusual arrangients of well-known standards, packs a rich array of feeling into 56 minutes.

All the extraordinary color and nuances of the two different quartets are captured beautifully using Sony's Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology. Quartets is released as a multichannel Hybrid SACD, featuring a 5.0 surround sound mix, along with the standard stereo mix. As a hybrid SACD, the disk may be played on any standard CD player.

"...enormous gifts as a composer, arranger and pianist." --All Music Guide

"...an adept interpreter of American Songbook classics and a composer of beautifully melodic tunes... "
"...an unabashed search for beauty."
--AllAboutJazz.com

5.0 out of 5 stars So nice to hear tasteful jazz, January 10, 2009
Wow, I really love listening to tastefully done jazz that's about the music and not about egos. The entire group is polished and every note is meaningful. Great bass player too.

5.0 out of 5 stars JUST FINE, May 14, 2008
First of all the compositions are just perfect fresh and well performed .A new piano voice in JAZZ deserving wider recognition .It is a very emotional and sophisticated album which becomes more expressive with the addition of alto saxophonist STEVE WILSON .It is for sure a remarkable recording for 2008 .

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful piano style..., April 20, 2008
By Michael Murray (Ettalong Beach, N.S.W. Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had listened to a track of Leslie's on the internet and liked immediately what I heard. So 'researched' her quartet a little and then ordered the CD. I was very pleased with the recording! The inside cover notes by Ken Dryden, a jazz music writer/contributor, describe very well her odyssey from the scholastic world to the jazz one and gives an accurate account of her, and her quartet's, musical style. When I first began to listen to her piano I thought it a bit simplistic. But the cover notes describe it perfectly: impressionistic ----- exactly !!. Listening to it with a new vision there, I appreciated her style much/much more --- and then after listening to the CD several more times, respected the whole scene.There are many beautiful rich textures there. She weaves a deep tapestry of sounds and feelings which I believe any jazz lover would admire. Its a CD you can listen to countless times. Plus Steve Wilson on alto/soprano sax ---- excellent musician and I dug his style. There is a lot of emotion there that upon tilting your ear you can hear. With that, I loved the CD and look forward to gleaning from it all that I know Leslie put into it.
