Alec Spiegelman / Lefteris Kordis / Thor Thorvaldsson: Bebop Trio
by Mark Corroto
The theme of “walk, don't run" occurs throughout the entirety of Bebop Trio, a suite of improvisations on the sometimes pell-mell music of Herbie Nichols, Lennie Tristano, Elmo Hope, Bud Powell, George Shearing and Duke Ellington.
