New York Trio • Begin the Beguine



Review by Ken Dryden
The New York Trio consists of pianist Bill Charlap, bassist Jay Leonhart, and drummer Bill Stewart, though it exists solely as a studio band for the Japanese label Venus, as Charlap's regular trio includes Peter Washington and Kenny Washington. Even though this band only meets occasionally in the studio to record yet another release in their prolific series for the Japanese jazz market, there is plenty of chemistry between the three veterans, while the nine songs from the vast Cole Porter songbook were likely to have been a part of each musician's repertoire long before these 2005 sessions. Charlap's lyrical piano style is quite effective, capturing the nuances of Porter's humor (even though none of his lyrics are heard), while the rhythm section gels nicely with the pianist. Highlights include a jaunty "My Heart Belongs to Daddy," a dreamy "Begin the Beguine," and a snappy "From This Moment On."

Reseña por Ken Dryden
The New York Trio está formado por el pianista Bill Charlap, el bajista Jay Leonhart y el baterista Bill Stewart, aunque existe únicamente como banda de estudio para el sello japonés Venus, ya que el trío regular de Charlap incluye a Peter Washington y Kenny Washington. Aunque esta banda solo se encuentra ocasionalmente en el estudio para grabar otro lanzamiento en su prolífica serie para el mercado japonés de jazz, hay mucha química entre los tres veteranos, mientras que las nueve canciones del extenso cancionero Cole Porter probablemente fueron una parte del repertorio de cada músico mucho antes de estas sesiones de 2005. El estilo de piano lírico de Charlap es bastante efectivo, capturando los matices del humor de Porter (aunque no se escuchan ninguna de sus letras), mientras que la sección rítmica se adapta muy bien con el pianista. Entre los puntos destacados se incluyen "My Heart Belongs to Daddy", un soñado "Begin the Beguine" y un divertido "From This Moment On".
