GORDON BECK ~ APPLEBY BLUES (LIMITED EDITION) ART OF LIFE 1025 (Barcode: 804640102526) ~ UK ~ Jazz Recorded: 2005Released: 2007 This live recording of the Gordon BeckFind albums by this artist trio at the Appleby Jazz Festival is a great proof of the fact that the legendary pianist is still at the top of his form in spite of his age. Vibrant and brilliant as always, Beck flies through a set original compositions and standards with grace and sensibility, rarely found elsewhere. Back is supported by an excellent rhythm section: the excellent young bass player Jeremy BrownFind albums by this artist and brilliant veteran drummer Tony LevinFind albums by this artist (who like Beck played in the Tubby HayesFind albums by this artist groups). Together they present a superb Jazz piano trio music, which sparkles with technical perfection and musicality. Levin’s extraordinary drumming is a perfect match for Back’s talents and his solo spots are quite amazing. The recording quality is also exceptionally fine, with every little detail perfectly audible. All together this is a perfect Jazz piano trio album, which every lover of that format will love and play repeatedly. Wholeheartedly recommended!
