Anything that pianist Steve Kuhn does is likely to be beautifully executed and tasteful, and Pavane for a Dead Princess is no exception. Here, he and his empathic collaborators David Finck (bass) and Billy Drummond (drums) address themselves to the stock classical repertoire, jazzing up eleven popular pieces from Debussy, Rachmaninov, Tchaikowsky, Grieg, Brahms and Chopin. (There are actually two “Pavane”s—the title track, by Ravel, and Faure's version.)
The result is nothing less than terrific. These are not classical melodies sitting stiffly on a jazz beat; instead, the trio digs deep into the structure of these well-worn compositions and thoroughly explores and expands them. Who knew “Swan Lake” or “Fantasy Impromptu” could swing like that? Or that Brahms's treacly “Lullaby” would make such a moving ballad?
Listeners familiar with this music in its original form will get the biggest kick out of this release, and those who've been intimate with Chopin's piano scores will especially appreciate the brilliance of Kuhn's improvisations. But any listener can enjoy what happens to strong, beautiful melodies in expert hands like these.
The recording is clear and warm, the pacing ideal. The musicians are in peak form, sounding positively inspired, and they swing like mad. What a delight!. By Dr. Judith Schlesinger.

¿En mp3 para el pueblo llano? Gracias.
No quería pasarme de listo.
Es solo que para bajarme los 5 enlaces me puedo tirar un par de días (con mi equipo de pueblo llano). No lo conozco pero pinta bien. Tengo el Easy CD extractor. Pero... ¿y si luego no me gusta?...
Pero gracias por ofrecer estas maravillas.

Si te gusta el Jazz, debe gustarte cualquier cosa de Venus Records.
Yo lo aconsejo fervientemente. Y no en MP3 corriente y moliente.
Sino en FLAC o Apple Lossless -es lo mismo- que acerca la "cosa" a como si obtuvieras el original del CD.
Cuando veo esos temas en 192@kbps, se me abren las cannes ....
Pero yo soy yo y mi opinión.
