Review: After nearly three decades and almost 20 albums, Bill Charlap remains a paragon of jazz piano, with his trio - bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington - standing as one of today's premier jazz groups. Their latest Blue Note release, And Then Again, recorded live at the Village Vanguard, harnesses the trio's extraordinary synergy and intuitive communication. The trio's has an unparalleled cohesion with sharp decision-making, and dynamic improvisations. The album highlights a blend of songbook classics and compositions by jazz greats, including the vibrant lead track, 'And Then Again' by Kenny Barron. Each performance moves from a calculated vision to a more spontaneous and intuitive approach. Years of critical acclaim and regular performances at the Vanguard have solidified their status, with Charlap's early experiences at the famed club fueling his passion. A thrilling and heartfelt live recording.
