Stefano Bollani: Les Fleurs Bleues (2004)
Stefano Bollani (Piano)
Scott Colley (Bass)
Clarence Penn (Drums)
This is some of the better jazz out there today! What a great trio! With Stefano Bollani on piano, Scott Colley on bass, and Clarence Penn on drums, you can't go wrong. These musicians are locked tight in the groove for the duration of this recording. Bollani is on top of his game, as he plays incredibly fast licks and incredibly original chord voicings that sound like fire from his fingertips, especially on the tracks which feature solo piano. There are a few well placed ballads on which the group really makes sound tender and delicate, and Bollani even sings on "Si Tu T'Imagines"! Scott Colley and Clarence Penn are world-class musicians, and accompany Bollani beautifully on this set. This is a highly recommended album, too bad it is only available through import. If you are lucky, you'll find it in a bargain bin like I did! Happy Listening...
