BILL CARROTHERS · HOME ROW






Terms and conditions
Legal information

Incredibly cohesive trio play, improvisation with an earthy, bluesy vehemence. A contemplative jazz piano trio masterpiece, with a pensive lyricism searching for the peace within. There is a like-minded aesthetic that underlies the music's gripping sensuality and sense of the unusual. Carrothers' deep sense of lyricism and the special nuances in the slower pieces are an essential part of this recording.
