Sacha Perry Trio
Eretik

In an era when every pianist sounds like Bill Evans, Perry has chosen as his model the chronically underrated Elmo Hope. Perry appeared on one of the best jazz records of 2004 (Across 7 Street), and he sounds even better on this hard-swinging trio date. Harmonically advanced but never merely cerebral, Eretik is the best debut by a jazz pianist in recent memory. (Smalls)
