Bruce Barth CD's feature a superb collection of originals and standards performed by one of the most intuitive pianists and composers in the industry. In addition to touring with his own trio, Barth has performed extensively with Stanley Turrentine and Terence Blanchard, and has played with such luminaries as Nat Adderley, Art Farmer, Freddie Hubbard and Roy Hargrove.
“This is Bruce’s seventh album as a leader, and it’s exemplary. The music, a mixture of originals and standards, is crafted creatively: there’s a variety of moods and ensembles, from sextet to solo piano; the playing is uniformly top drawer; and the sound is expansive and very present. All told, East And West is one of the best jazz albums in recent memory.”

“With its settings from septet to solo piano, East And West may be the multifaceted Barth’s break- through album. |
