Customer Reviews:

The album is supposed to feature the pianist not the rhythm section!.......2006-05-14

I would not buy this album because the bass fiddle is TOO LOUD and over-rides the pianist.

Nice standards collection.......2006-03-12

Bill Charlap is a sophisticated pianist, who has many subtlies in his playing, and a nice touch. To my ears anyway, he has been heavily influenced by the great Hank Jones, but at the same time shows that he has his own voice as well.

I don't listen to Charlap that often, but I like his style. Not exactly McCoy Tyner, but always enjoyable to listen to.

Bill Evans without the melancholy.......2004-01-12

This from the owner of uncountable jazz piano recordings going back to Tatem, Teddy Wilson, Nat Cole and with an overflow library of Bill Evans. Charlap does the best, most creative, most lively interpretation of standards I've ever heard. You need do no more than listen to the back-to-back cuts of "Slow Boat to China" (whoever did that one like this before?) and "One for My Baby" to get an idea of his versatility and creative range. He is just as good on his Stardust album and on "All through the night".

Where have you been, INDEED!.......2002-03-12

An amazing fact about jazz is that we keep rediscovering it.
I thought I knew all the great Cole Porter tunes, but here
comes a wonderful rendering of his "Where Have Your Been?" and I
cannot get it out of my head! Charlap makes everything sound
easy - sort of like Ralph Sharon....which is maybe why he has recently been playing with Tony Bennett.

Three As One.......2002-01-19

Any true jazz fan knows that the names Bill Charlap, Peter Washington and Kenny Washington on a CD basically assures the finest quality of beautiful jazz available. However, what sets this CD apart from other great jazz CDs is the beautiful, sensitive treatment give to all ballads and the surprises inherent in the arrangements of the more uptempo tunes. All three giants of this music are creative and beautiful improvisors and continually compliment one another. I couldn't find enough words in the dictionary to highly recommend this CD - you've got to purchase it and find out for yourself!
