Bill Carrothers - The Electric Bill (2002)

A Superb Disc
Here is an absolutely superb record from Bill Carrothers. Beautiful compositions and a great group sound. For me, one of his best records, which offers a completely different universe than in his acoustic piano records. Moreover, the sound is particularly successful, which does not spoil anything. With Duets with Bill Stewart, and Ghost Ship, my three favorites, in a very clear color. A pianist to know absolutely, much less publicized than Brad Meldhau, or Chick Corea, but who in my opinion achieves the tour de force of offering a different game and a personality as interesting as the two other pianists I mentioned (which do not however demerit). ~ Sébastien Lalisse, Amazon.com.
