Sacha Perry / Not Brand X
The second album with this New York based jazz pianist serving as a
bandleader, "Not Brand X" (Smalls Records) is heavily Bud Powell-inspired
bop classicism done well, without the smoothing-out process that usually
happens to pianists along the way. Mr. Perry's solo phrases are seriously
hustling, bunched up and springy, and the other members of his trio, the
bassist Ari Roland and the drummer Phil Stewart, sound wired to him. |
