Jay Leonhart Trio - Fly Me To The Moon (2004) [Japan 2018] SACD ISO + DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC

On this tribute to Ray Brown, this stellar trio plays its way through 11 standards in nearly 66 minutes, and the result is as fresh and tasty as you could ever wish. The trio's instrumentation begs comparison with the great Oscar Peterson Trio, of whom Brown was such an important member, but this threesome plays with confidence and gusto, as if to scoff at the folly of such futile mind play. Joy and good fun exude from the disc as if from pores, writes reviewer J. Robert Bragonier.

Highlights of the album include a brisk and sparkling "Street Where You Live," Green's awe-inspiring solo on "No Greater Love," Green and Cohn's counterpoint in the opening minute and again near the conclusion of "Just in Time," Leonhart's wistful arco bass solos in "Alone Together" that sandwich a swinging samba beat; and the beautiful, underexposed Cole Porter ballad "Dream Dancing." The disc concludes with the lovely and relatively obscure "Some Other Time" by Leonard Bernstein.
