The Guardian said in its recent review of this CD that this was not Lynne Arriale at her best: while she sounded exalted on half the disc, she sounded inhibited on the other. Half right. I would say that she sounds exalted on pretty well all of this lovely recording. The CD - which hommage to some of Arriale's favourite modern composers - includes pieces by Leornard Bernstein, Burt Bacharach, Lennon and McCartney, Monk, Jarrett, Corea and Abdullah Ibrahim. Yet the greatest tribute she pays to these is the way she sets out to rethink their work. Arriale's arrangements are fine and her soloing is excellent, providing, for instance, a calypso lilt to Bernstein's 'America' and a sublimely lyrical meditation on Lennon and McCartney's 'Blackbird'. Arriale is one of the most interesting jazz pianists to have emerged recently, a melodic player of real stature who can twist and turn a melody inside out and yet also break away to create melodies all her own. Excellent support is provided by Steve Davis on drums and Jay Anderson on bass. The Arriale trio is clearly a tight-knit unit in which the players respond to each other bother intuitively and subtly. My only complaint is that some of the tracks on the CD were too short. For me this is one disc which really leaves the listener wanting more.

Lynne Arriale and her trio are on close to top form on this CD, although not quite reaching the peak of her 'Live in Montreux Jazz Festival' album where she played with uninhibited fervour. 'Inspiration' is a fascinating showcase for her improvisational talents and uncanny connection with Steve Davis on drums and Jay Anderson on bass across a wide range of compositions ranging from Ellington and Monk through to Bernstein and Lennon and McCartney.There is a wonderful rendition of 'It Don't Mean a Thing' with her interplay with Steve Davis a standout and an idiosyncratic interpretation of 'Bemsha Swing'. There are also jazzy but underlyingly melodic versions of 'Blackbird'and 'The Nearness of You'. Indeed none of the ten numbers on this CD are a 'dud' and this album should be of interest to all jazz piano lovers.

Spectacularly Wonderful Music!

I never grow tired of listening to this CD. I saw Lynne and her trio here in Chicago at the Jazz Showcase last January and thought they were very special. She is an incredibly inventive pianist and her bassist and drummer supply formidable support. Highlights for me are her pointilistic interpretation of Monk's "Bemsha Swing" and her slow, slinky version of "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)." I feel priviledged to have been introduced to a musician who deserves wider recognition. If you like jazz piano in a trio setting I can't imagine you being disappointed in this disc.

BUY THIS CD

From the intimate clubs of the world to the stage at Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, Lynne Arriale continues to prove why she is the First Lady of Melodic Jazz. I do not believe that I can adequately describe her music and that of the great Lynne Arriale Trio, and so I would encourage you to listen to some of the "cuts" here at Amazon. Not only is Lynne an excellent composer, she and her trio interpret the music of other's like no one else. Listen to their interpretation of Burt Bacharach's "A House Is Not A Home" and see if it doesn't rip your heart out. I cannot recommend the music of the Lynne Arriale Trio enough. Why not take a moment and enrich your life buy making a purchase of the Trio's latest release: Inspiration. And, while you're at it, if you don't have their other recordings, may I suggest to add them to your music library as well. You will NOT be disappointed.

Another Dimension

This is without doubt a very inspired album that carries you into another dimension. Relax and enjoy an inspired album; very well recorded as if you were at an intimate night club where you can feel the music. This album shows that it is still possible to create a new sound - a new voice in jazz without ignoring melody.
