Ran
Blake Trio:
Sonic Temples |
 Once
again being produced by his mentor Gunther Schuller, who
discovered him in 1957, Ran Blake is finally captured in
the piano trio setting for the first time in his 40-year
recording career. This 2-CD set features trio
recastings of Blake’s most beloved music, as well as
group originals, the music of Film Noir, jazz standards,
and selections from the classic American popular song
book. |
“[I]n
my vast experiences working with, accompanying (in
classical concertos), coaching, listening over the years,
to thousands of pianists, world famous or little known, I
have never encountered anyone who can do some of the
things that Ran can do with the utmost ease and
naturalness.”
—Gunther
