One Day It Will

Pianist Green's earlier album Altered Narratives put strings with his trio on three tracks. The melding with a string quartet worked nicely. One Day It Will carries the idea to album length, with excellent arrangements by Green and smooth interaction among a string quartet and the trio featuring bassist Justin Grinnell and drummer Julien Cantelm. Among many highlights: the evocative languor of Green's "October Ballad," Cantelm's accents amounting to commentary behind Green's dancing solo on "As The Parrot Flies," Grinell's solo on the waltz "Lemon Avenue," the richness of Kate Hatmaker's violin on "As The Parrot Flies." Sound quality is superb.
