Trio Reenactment: Trio Reenactment
ByBarron, pianist Sven Anderson and drummer Rich Emanuel are veterans of the Detroit music scene, with a collective resume involving funk and Afro-Cuban sounds, Brazilian music and Broadway shows, Latin and Motown soul and straight-ahead jazz. On Trio Reenactment the group shows off their multiple influences and considerable mainstream piano trio chops.
The straight-through engaging set rides the groove of bassist Barron's assertive, sometimes guitar-like sound on three tunes by pianist Anderson and seven by Barron. "7-24" shows of the group's way with a ballad. The sound has a lilting sway, with Barron taking a crisp and melodic solo between Anderson's light sparkle
"Relentless" features Barron laying down on ominous foundation behind in a flashy (in the best sense of the word) piano/drums energy. "James" trips in on a light island rhythm, and "John's Big Feet" wears some quirky yet soulful dancing shoes. "Move It Along" does just what the title indicates, with a mainstream fluid momentum.
Trio Reenactment proves itself a fine and distinctive piano trio affair.
