Bruce Barth: Live At The Village Vanguard
by Mark Corroto
Serious craftsmen in most occupations tend to shun the spotlight. This is also true of pianist Bruce Barth. Although he leads his own trio on this live recording, he maintains a workmanlike approach, eschewing fireworks for a solid performance. Maybe it is his role as long time accompanist for singers such as Carla Cook, ...
