Editorial Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Zeitlin shows to be in unrelentingly powerful form, his approach as varied as ever.
Product Description
Solo Voyage begins with a lively version of the Thelonious Monk classic "Bemsha Swing." He follows that with a graceful rendition of "Miyako" by Wayne Shorter. Zeitlin offers the first of his eight originals on the CD with "Cascade," which presents a catchy intro followed by some complex runs that highlight Zeitlin’s dazzling piano work. The next song, "Quiet Now," is considered to be Zeitlin’s most well known composition in part because Bill Evans took such a liking to the piece. Evans recorded the song at least nine times over his career and kept it in his nightly repertoire. Zeitlin’s re-worked version begins with moments of free improvisation before stretching the tempo of the melody and drawing the listener in. "Walking, Prancing, Marching, Dancing," another Zeitlin original, is a free improvisation that was influenced by early childhood experiments on the family’s Steinway. "Solo Voyage," an eight-piece suite of jazz and songbook standards, originals,! and free improvisation interludes comprises the other half of the CD. Zeitlin created the suite for one of his oldest and closest friends, Bill Young, who passed recently.

This review is from: Solo Voyage (Audio CD)
One of the best solo piano recordings I heard in years. One can be suspicious when hearing a sound of a Yamaha synthesizer along with a Steinway, but due to an excellent taste of Denny Zeitlin it all works beautifully. Very atmospheric, still not compromised/commercialized music. Highly recommended.
