Hal Galper Trio, AIREGIN REVISITED

Hal Galper Trio -][- AIREGIN REVISITED – [Origin Records, 2012]

Following up on what’s been called the veteran pianist’s finest recording to date, 2011’s “Trip the Light Fantastic,” Galper and his trio offer another exhilarating set of music, further defining the very personal “rubato” style of collective performance they’ve developed over the last six years.

From an intimate “Embraceable You,” to the closing, high-flying take of Sonny Rollins’ “Airegin,” Galper, bassist Jeff Johnson, and drummer John Bishop, display a singular group aesthetic, fully grounded in the language of bop while always in pursuit of new possibilities.

Produced by Hal Galper, Jeff Johnson & John Bishop

Jeff Johnson, SUITCASE

Jeff Johnson -][- SUITCASE – [Origin Records, 2012] –

As a teen, bassist Jeff Johnson was inspired by Ernest Hemingway and his way of writing from experience, giving rich, human impressions of events surrounding him. Johnson uses that inspiration as a guide on Suitcase as a way to more vividly convey his life experiences through composition and storytelling.

Having forged a deeply creative improvisational partnership over the last twenty years with saxophonist Hans Teuber, his decision to team here with newer musical partners – pianist Steve Moore and drummer Eric Eagle – creates a lively balance of the well-known and less-known to assure there will always be more chapters to be written.
