专辑介绍

by David R. Adler

Green's first-ever fully unaccompanied outing is a knockout -- not a conceptual revolution by any means, but a stylistic triumph and an all-around good time. Like Marcus Roberts, Green is a latter-day master of stride piano, and right off the bat he wows listeners with his skills on &I've Heard That Song Before& and &I Wish You Love& before quieting down with &Someone to Watch Over Me.& Green's playing spills over with adventurous, perfectly resolved phrases, crystalline melodies, and controlled dissonance, not to mention a tremendous amount of human spirit. Sticking to standard repertoire (with the exception of the original title track), Green also rummages through other old songs like &Just You, Just Me,& &Misty,& and &Ain't Misbehavin',& effortlessly creating beauty as he goes. He closes with two Ellington classics, &It Don't Mean a Thing& and &I Got It Bad&; the former is interpolated with Gershwin's &It Ain't Necessarily So& and tagged with a variation on Charlie Parker's &Now's the Time.&
