Although Bob Brookmeyer played piano in addition to his regular instrument,
valve trombone, while he was working with Jimmy Giuffre and in both the small
and big bands led by Gerry Mulligan, as well as on other sessions, this is his
first exclusive outing on the instrument since the recording of "The Ivory
Hunters," his famous duo piano date with Bill Evans, some 40-plus years later.
Producer Peter Larsen overcame Brookmeyer's numerous objections that he wasn't
up to the task; the results are more than satisfying. With bassist Mads Vinding
and drummer Alex Riel, he develops interesting approaches to half a dozen
time-tested standards. "The Man I Love" is economical and occasionally
dissonant, while his reworking of "I Thought About You" has a well-disguised
introduction and later a Latin flavor as the rhythm section joins him. "I Should
Care" is transformed into a troubled, somewhat darker setting, but he follows it
up with a joyful, foot-tapping "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" that surely
reflects the song's title; it comes out sounding like an original by Brookmeyer.
As one of the top (and most under-appreciated) arrangers and appreciated
composers at the dawn of the 21st century, Brookmeyer's originals stand up very
well to close scrutiny. "Summer Song" is his brisk reworking of George
Gershwin's well-known "Summertime." The pretty ballad "Pastoral" contrasts with
his playful (and at first, deceptively simple) "Stupid Song," which builds from
an initially repetitious two-note theme. Brookmeyer would never claim that he
has the greatest chops on piano, but the way in which he makes use of his talent
on the keyboard is of far more interest than the CDs by up-and-coming full-time
pianists with great technique but little knowledge of what to do with it.~ Ken
