"Something More ... Stephanie Trick ... Jazz Pianist Preserves Early Styles in Stride (2011)"
Nov 23 2011
By J. Lovins
TOP 50 REVIEWER
Victoria Records presents "SOMETHING MORE" ~ Stephanie Trick's fifth album, "Something More", recorded on the Victoria Records label in March 2011, features her work with a trio with Danny Coots (drums) and Jay Hungerford (bass) .... And this is one of her BEST!
One of the nicest gifts to arrive on the jazz piano scene in recent times is named Stephanie Trick, it's not enough to refer to her as a fine jazz pianist, there are many these days, thank goodness.
Stephanie, however is something more in addition to presenting her own increasingly creative improvs, she is a preserver of older pieces and early styles-like many of us, a sort of performing archivist.
In this recording, she presents a program studded with links to that tradition including Louis Mazetier's witty ode to Willie "The Lion" Smith. "Look Out, Lion, I've Got you!", as well as my own arrangement of an early Duke Ellington piece, "Jubliee Stomp". There are many others - Fats Waller's "Valentine Stomp", Meade Lux Lewis "Honky Tonk Train Blues." standards such as "You Took advantage of Me" and "Taking a Chance On Love" -- Stephanie trick herself has now become a strong link inn our tradition, and we couldn't be more delighted to welcome her. (so states Dick Hyman-pianist)
