This is, in my opinion, the definitive Richie Beirach album. A tribute to Bill Evans, this album presents Beirach's unique sound over six tunes Evans performed regularly.Beirach's phrasing and melodic ideas are truly original and he is supported strongly by Al Foster and George Mraz. This record lead me to investigate Beirach's vast body of work with Dave Liebman, et al. Richie's playing is alternately beautiful and dark with complex harmonic movements and improvisations. The great thing is to hear how Richie inserts his style into standard compositions.Get this. It's worth the money.
