4.0 out of 5 stars
Mr.Underrated, January 14, 2007
This review is from: Ways of the Hand (Audio CD)
Another unknown who's got more chops and creativity than most of the 'names' on the scene. Mr. Nordal has done faithful recreations ( note-for-note and stylistic) as well as his own tunes and improvisations here. I can't wait to hear the next one! My only question: If he's dedicating the tune to Keith Jarrett, why does he quote Corea's 'the Woods' in the middle of his 'improv?' I loved it anyway!
My only complaint - I'd love to see more of his own tunes. When you're that good at 're-creating', it's time to focus more on 'creating.' One of his strengths is composing, he should exploit it. If you like Jazz piano, GET THIS CD!!
