LeeAnn Ledgerwood - Breaking The Waves (2011)

This album is another serious work by pianist LeeAnn Ledgerwood utilising the same trio members as in her previous work "Simple Truth" released in 2010. A listener can't not be drawn into the exceptional muscular musicality showcased throughout this CD. Essentially, LeeAnn is the glue that pulls the powerful rhythm team of bassist Ron McClure and drummer Nasheet Waits together. She is the mastermind of all the compositions on this outing resulting in a truly expressive trio format that deserves further listening, Enjoy!

" … pianist Lee Ann Ledgerwood is part of an ever-growing contingency of extremely talented jazz musicians of the female persuasion… and first crack at a piano trio record. Ultimately, it proves to be one of the best of its kind in recent memory. Simultaneously adventurous but also emotionally direct… " (C. Andrew Hovan, AAJ on “Transition” SCCD 31468).
