Frank Kimbrough: Play

Read "Play" reviewed by Matthew Miller


More than the presence of Paul Motian on this, Frank Kimbrough's seventh album as a leader, harkens to the legacy of Bill Evans. The pianists share an unparalleled grace of touch and musicality that subtly penetrate the ear, dancing with the innate, ineffable rhythmic sense that makes repeated listening a pleasure. And like Evans, Kimbrough creates ...

Focus on Sanity

Read "Focus on Sanity" reviewed by AAJ Staff


By Frank Kimbrough There's been much discussion recently about musicians voicing their political views. I'm of the opinion that it's not only our right, but our responsibility to do so.

Frank Kimbrough: Important Every Time

Read "Frank Kimbrough: Important Every Time" reviewed by Celeste Sunderland

Frank Kimbrough: Play

Read "Play" reviewed by Jim Santella


With this program of modern mainstream originals, pianist Frank Kimbrough embarks on a journey that emphasizes layers of lush harmony and ethereal impressions. While meter plays an important role on Play, Kimbrough's trio finds that it can express just as well with or without this tool; the pianist's swirling keyboard attacks ebb and flow dynamically.

Frank Kimbrough: Play

Read "Play" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


A founding member of the Jazz Composers Collective and a first-call session pianist, Frank Kimbrough's musical output as leader is widely recognized for its persuasiveness. These are powerful sentiments, especially in the digital age, where performers (in all genres) crop up faster than weeds in the garden. But Kimbrough's work as a jazz artist pays homage ...

Frank Kimbrough: Play

Read "Play" reviewed by Chris May


Recorded with no rehearsal and just five hours of studio time, Play is something of a departure for post bop-to-free pianist Frank Kimbrough.
