Franco dAndreas eighth volume of solo piano for Philology is a most unusual CD.
Although it is titled Solo 8: Classic Jazz and has medleys that contain many
well-known songs, the stunning 20-minute-plus opener is a freeform collage of
many styles of jazz (from stride to post-bop and destinations in between) before
it finally signals the arrival of C Jam Blues, though it doesnt remain there for
long. The three shorter medleys are quite a bit more accessible while remaining
adventurous methods for the pianist to show off his incredible chops and sense
of jazz history. The one breather from medleys is I Found a New Baby, though it
also follows a more meandering path than typical for this old warhorse. While
this CD might not be the best initial purchase for someone unfamiliar with
Franco dAndrea, once a buyer has had an opportunity to hear some of his other
solo releases its a safe bet that this intriguing disc will join the others in
his or her collection.~Ken Dryden
