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.
