Trip the Light Fantastic

Jazz piano vet and highly regarded educator, Hal Galper offers another solid recording to his lengthy discography. Galper has a very identifiable sound, not sure I can adequately compare him to anyone. The way in which he strings notes together, it always leaves me with the impression of falling down a flight of stairs without ever leaving my feet? a controlled cohesive randomness that's just a wee bit dangerous and could prove fatal. With Jeff Johnson and John Bishop on bass and drums, Galper's trio puts out a strong recording, and the Origin label continues to impress with their selection of talent.
