Synopsis
Album Description COME TOGETHER, marks The Lynne Arriale Trio?s 10th Anniversary and their 9th recording together. Working exclusively as the leader of her long time trio, Arriale has amassed a body of work that has been favorably compared to the great piano trios: "? A brilliant improviser? (she) should take her rightful place alongside Brad Mehldau," (Jazz Times.) "A superb performer?her Trio is more than a match for Jarrett?s," (The Times ? London.) Come Together is her most personal expression to date, featuring six compelling original compositions (along with the Lennon and McCartney-penned title track, a prayer-like arrangement of the traditional Scottish folk song ?Red is the Rose? and the New Orleans musical anthem ?Iko Iko?). The title track of Arise, her own composition, was one of the most requested instrumental tracks on jazz radio in 2003. "It inspired me to write even more originals for this new CD," says Arriale. The Trio will be featured on the special "Profiles of a Performing Artist" airing on PBS member stations throughout ?04 and ?05, also on NPR?s Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland and, for the second year in a row, NPR?s Jazz Piano Christmas ? Live at the Kennedy Center.& European tour dates. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsFresh David Weiskircher | Roswell, GA USA | 07/16/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've purchased other CD's by Lynne Arriale, and I recently purchased "Come Together." I've found all of her CD's to be entertaining, but this one really touched me. I normally am circumspect when a performer writes their own stuff. (I realize that they can't keep playing the standards, but still . . . ) But when I heard "Home" I think I melted on the spot. I literally became entranced by it. The emotion that Lynne and Jay and Steve put into this song. Breathtaking. The song really captures for me what the word "home" means. Then, compare this song with "Braziliana." The calm and serenity of "Home" is replaced by some truly gifted, and frenetic, piano work in "Braziliana." This song is hot.
But the reason I purchased this CD in the first place was because of "Red is The Rose." I love this song, and I've heard thousands of versions of it. I think Lynne nailed the real feeling of this song. Simply beautiful. I think the trio format is intersting. So much music today is overproduced, and the emotion gets left behind in all the hub-bub. With just a trio the music comes to the forefront, where it belongs." |
