5.0 out of 5 stars A Tribute to Art Tatum, December 31, 2000

By 

Dr. Krzysztof Z. Polakowski (ROCHESTER, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Tribute to Art Tatum (Audio CD)

Paying his tribute to Art Tatum Makowicz reveals his own musical personality. He presents his unique approach to modern jazz being even more creative than Tatum. Makowicz does not attempt to imiate his keyboard dexterity and unsurpassed sense of harmony. Instead, he gives more personal touch in his improvisations. Unlike Tatum, Makowicz quite often goes away from the original theme creating his own, unique variations. His piano sounds crisp and rich, as he prefers Bessendorfer over other pianos. This CD is a real musical gem. Highly recommended to all jazz piano lovers. Both thumbs up!

This review is from: A Tribute to Art Tatum (Audio CD)

This is one of the recent and best recordings of Adam Makowicz. It quickly became our favorite jazz CD at Digital Recordings due to beautiful music selection and virtuosi of the pianist. It is one of these recordings which you can play over and over again. Both thumbs up!
