'Round Midnight

Featuring the music of Richie Beirach
Duration: 05:06
March 1, 2026

Much praise has been offered about Richie Beirach, the iconic pianist who passed away on January 26, 2026. Emerging as a trio leader and soloist in the early 1970s, he immersed the listener in stunning harmonic improvisations, bursts of dense lines and voicings, and modern classical music’s use of dynamics and flexible tempo to create an effect that was concerto-like. On "’Round Midnight," listen for these draw-droppers: an ominous, recurring trill to establish the piece as "furioso;" reharmonization from 0:22 to 0:48 that explodes Monk’s already unusual chord changes; a blindingly fast, punctuated solo (2:10 – 3:41) that would give Oscar Peterson a run for his money; and an impromptu switch to tango feel at 3:57. The overall effect leaves one breathless. For deeper exposure, search YouTube for “Transcription Richie Beirach Round Midnight” and also read his AAJ interview Richie Beirach: Indelible Memories and Thought-Provoking Reflections on a Life in Jazz, Part 1.

La notte cantata da Karrin Allyson è piena di passioni, di luci soffuse, di amori che vanno e vengono passando per canzoni come “Smile" e “Goodbye". Un grande album, il tredicesimo per la Concord, in cui la Allyson ritorna anche dietro la tastiera del pianoforte e del Fender Rhodes, con autorità. La sua voce malinconica si ...
