│ 2005 has been a great year for all of us at MiNDSCAPE and ││
│ the days are ticking away till 2006 hits. Well I just want ││
│ to bring to all our dedicated followers as much as we can ││
│ before 2005 ends and what a better way than sharing with you ││
│ an album that seems to have been missed. We here at MS Jazz ││
│ Division have to many releases to go and so little time so ││
│ we hope this will be a release everyone will be happy with. ││
│ Thanks for everyones support since the beginning. ││

│ Personnel: Bill Charlap (piano); Phil Woods (alto ││
│ saxophone); Frank Wess (tenor saxophone); Nicholas Payton ││
│ (trumpet); Slide Hampton (trombone); Peter Washington ││
│ (double bass); Kenny Washington (drums). Liner Note Author: ││
│ Will Friedwald. Recording information: The Hit Factory, New ││
│ York, New York (02/07/2003 - 02/09/2003). Acclaimed pianist ││
│ Bill Charlap stays in songbook mode for PLAYS GEORGE ││
│ GERSHWIN: THE AMERICAN SOUL, an album that follows up his ││
│ Grammy-nominated SOMEWHERE: THE SONGS OF LEONARD BERNSTEIN. ││
│ Charlap clearly has a deep love for the American pop/jazz ││
│ canon, and moving from the work of Bernstein to Gershwin ││
│ proves to be completely natural for the tradition-minded ││
│ performer. Charlap's longtime rhythm section--bassist Peter ││
│ Washington and drummer Kenny Washington (who are ││
│ unrelated)--are on hand here, and the trio's utterly ││
│ telepathic interplay makes every track sound effortless, ││
│ whether they're gliding through the upbeat "Who Cares?" or ││
│ the delicate, heartbreaking "I Was So Young (You Were So ││
│ Beautiful)." A quartet of horns, including jazz legends Phil ││
│ Woods (alto saxophone) and Slide Hampton (trombone), joins ││
│ the ensemble on a handful of tracks, with the two elder ││
│ statesmen almost--but not quite--stealing the show on a few ││
│ occasions. Throughout the album, Charlap's piano playing is ││
│ as pristine and nuanced as ever. ││
│ ││
│ If you like this release go out and buy it. ││
