Guitarist Peter Bernstein is reunited with pianist Brad Mehldau once more (their fourth recording together under Bernstein's name) and also keeps the rhythm section intact from his earlier Criss Cross CD Heart's Content, with Larry Grenadier on bass and drummer Bill Stewart. These rewarding sessions blend elements of hard bop and post-bop, including an intriguing, slightly off-center approach to "Stranger in Paradise" and an intricate, moving interpretation of "This Is Always," a ballad that can become stale in the wrong hands. The quartet also tackles quite a few works that don't get all that much attention, like a greasy arranging of Babs Gonzales' "Soul Stirrin'" and a breezy take of "That Sunday, That Summer," the latter a hit for Nat King Cole during his years as a popular singer. Bernstein also adds four potent originals, all of which set the band afire. It is a shame that Peter Bernstein is overlooked by American record labels, but be thankful that the Japanese know talent when they hear it and invest the time and money to document his work. Highly recommended!

El guitarrista Peter Bernstein se reúne de nuevo con el pianista Brad Mehldau (su cuarta grabación juntos bajo el nombre de Bernstein) y también mantiene intacta la sección rítmica de su anterior CD de Criss Cross Heart's Content, con Larry Grenadier al bajo y el batería Bill Stewart. Estas gratificantes sesiones mezclan elementos de hard bop y post-bop, incluyendo una intrigante y ligeramente descentrada aproximación a "Stranger in Paradise" y una intrincada y conmovedora interpretación de "This Is Always", una balada que puede resultar rancia en las manos equivocadas. El cuarteto también aborda algunas obras a las que no se presta demasiada atención, como un grasiento arreglo de "Soul Stirrin'" de Babs Gonzales y una desenfadada toma de "That Sunday, That Summer", esta última un éxito de Nat King Cole durante sus años como cantante popular. Bernstein también añade cuatro potentes originales, todos los cuales hacen arder a la banda. Es una pena que Peter Bernstein sea ignorado por las discográficas americanas, pero hay que agradecer que los japoneses reconozcan el talento cuando lo oyen e inviertan tiempo y dinero en documentar su obra. Muy recomendable.
