Description
Variations on standards played by pianist/composer Steve Plews. Introspective and melancholic yet full of passion and energy. The album is housed in just a simple cardboard sleeve, which is reflected in its price.
Plews is best known for his work as an improvising musician and champion of contemporary music. Here he shows his harmonic knowledge and mixes a variety of styles in his realisations of his favourite standards.
From Coltrane to Porter and finishing up with his own take on "Chopsticks". Perhaps the most played piece ever written and actually composed by Plews' great aunt! Here he adds his own twist with echoes of Debussy and Bill Evans.
Personnel: Steve Plews (piano)
