Lovely.

"Having been a huge admirer of Bill Evans for a long time now, I've often heard of Kuhn's name but never really bothered to check him out -- until now. And what a pleasant surprise. Though obviously influenced by Evans, Kuhn's touch and playing are pretty much his own. For a taste of poignancy, check out "I Loves You, Porgy," which manages to be sentimental without being mushy. Bassist Eddie Gomez, a longtime Evans cohort, shines in his solo. And yes, Kuhn can also swing!"

Another strong effort by Kuhn

""Porgy" is yet another album of superlative jazz trio music from Steve Kuhn. Kuhn has been vastly underrated for many years. The best of his work is on par with Jarrett, Evans, etc.



"Porgy" is well played and recorded. Although it is not as adventurous as his ECM efforts, it is still a solid album."
