Bill Charlap: Plays George Gershwin: The American Soul
by Paul Olson
Pianist Bill Charlap continues his inexorable climb up the top-tier, big-time jazz mountain with Plays George Gershwin, his first release since last year's Somewhere: the Songs of Leonard Bernstein.

The group shrinks and swells, depending on the treatment Charlap aims to give ...

Bill Charlap in Albany, NY
by R.J. DeLuke
One of the finest practioners of the piano these days is Bill Charlap. He's not going to be pushing the envelope and probably no one has yet seen him dash off on Jarrett-esque sojourns or Herbie-with-Miles escapades.

"Somewhere" (at the Vanguard) with Bill Charlap & the Washingtons
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
One reason I enjoy researching my Nite & Disks is that I get a fuller sense of what the artists are up to, since there can be a considerable difference between the archived and live versions of the same material. Sometimes it's due to various playing conditions: more or less tension, the visit (or absence) of ...
