NEW STORIES - Circled By Hounds Music CD

Indeed a fine recording. - Ira Gitler. New Stories is the most esteemed piano trio in the unusually fertile Seattle jazz scene, equally prized for performances in their own name and for those many times when they serve as a rhythm section backing visiting stars. And often the big names come back for more. This CD features the trio at it's best, exploring the many different stylings that make up the performers' character (a mambo "Body & Soul," "Stella By Starlight" in 5/4) yet tying it together with a great musical cohesiveness. "A remarkable rhythm section." - Jazz Journal, London. Originally released in 1995.
