Also known as the New York Jazz Trio, this combo is a studio-only group
who specialize in recording classic standards in a straightforward,
post-bop style. The New York Trio features three gifted musicians who
are firmly established on the East Coast jazz scene. Pianist Bill
Charlap is a member of the Phil Woods Quintet, has accompanied the likes
of Tony Bennett, Benny Carter, and Gerry Mulligan, and has recorded a
handful of well-received albums for Blue Note as a bandleader. Bassist
Jay Leonhart has recorded as a headliner since 1983, while also making a
name for himself as a vocalist and songwriter as well as backing up
Marian McPartland, Louie Bellson, Lee Konitz, and many others. And
drummer Bill Stewart had handled demanding gigs with a variety of
musicians, including jazz guitarist John Scofield, funky sax man Maceo
Parker and R&B legend James Brown. In 2001, Charlap, Leonhart, and
Stewart teamed up in the studio to cut the album Blues in the Night for
the Venus Jazz label; featuring leisurely but heartfelt interpretations
of eight classic melodies, the album was well-received by fans of
classic jazz. Seven similar collections have been recorded by the trio
for Japanese jazz labels. ~ Mark Deming
