Joan Stiles, New York, NY, January 5, 2012
There were two shows this night for the release of Joan's CD, Three Musicians. This recording, from my personal archive, is of the second show.
Pianists
Sitting with Satoshi Ashikawa's Still Way.
Okay. I'm going out on a limb this week, I hope you'll join me.
Taeko Kunishima
Taeko Kunishima is a pianist and composer who I first became aware of in 2011, around the release of her third album, Late Autumn. At the time, I reviewed that record for the website All About Jazz and have followed her music since.
McCoy Tyner Trio: Inception
A trio setting with bassist Art Davis and drummer Elvin Jones, Inception is a strong debut, though not necessarily indicative of the monster player Tyner would become.
