Every now and then a jazz solo piano recording breaks new ground and redefines the possibilities of the idiom. This new release by Geoff Keezer, his first solo piano recording in over a decade, is absolutely stunning - in its way as mind blowing and earth-shattering as Keith Jarrett's "Facing You" was in 1971. The sheer joy and passion in Keezer's playing, the depth of his ideas, joined with such astounding technical mastery of the instrument, not to mention his internal sense of time and deep sense of swing, make this a recording for the ages. In an idiom that is explored in rarefied air, and by very few at this level, this recording stands out, and I have no hesitation in calling it a masterpiece.
What a terrific album! First of all, it's absolutely beautiful, continually surprising, utterly involving and technically accomplished. But after years of listening to solo piano albums, I didn't think it was possible for me to discover a new voice. But Geoffrey really comes into his own here, whether on reinterpretations of pop tunes, fresh readings of songs by assorted mentors, or his own exquisite originals. Anyone who loves jazz piano needs to grab this immediately.
