After 27 years and nearly 20 albums, it still needs to be reiterated that Bill Charlap is one of the greatest jazz pianists, and that his trio with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington is one of the greatest jazz groups of our time.
These truths are self-evident on the new Bill Charlap Trio album out on Blue Note, "And Then Again", recorded live at the Village Vanguard. The album is a showcase for the locked-in accord and extrasensory communication shared between the three musicians, their rapid-fire yet diamond-sharp decision-making, and the bedrock of repertoire opposed to the improvisational plume of arrangement, and the many wonderful and unforgettable moments that arise from it.
