"A remarkable (and long overdue) tribute to one of the 20th century's greatest jazz pianists. Several of the tracks may even improve on the original -- and that's no easy feat."
Disappointing

"This disc was a disappointment. I am a big fan of Christian Jacob, but this disc was awful. The playing was virtuoso, but Jacob seems to feel the need to fill every possible moment of every track with piano playing. As a result, it is very "busy" sounding and exhausting to listen to. This disc proves the well-worn adage that silent passages are essential to good music composition. Buy the Christian Jacob Trio: Live in Japan disc instead, which is excellent."
