Tonu Naissoo, who has been playing jazz for over 35 years, is considered a legend in that Baltic state, and judging from this album, he indeed has exceptional talent. He has mastered many musical styles, and it shows in his selection and treatment of varied tunes, from the Great American Songbook to musical gems by Miles Davis ("Milestones"), Jimi Hendrix ("Angel") and Bob Dylan ("Lay Lady Lay"). His touch is strong and beautiful His amazing technique follows his even more amazing imagination. Finnish bassist Ulf Krokfors and American drummer Brian Melvin, who is also a resident of Tallinn, Estonia, provide great support as equal partners. And I have to mention the sound. When you play the first tune, I bet you'll be blown away by how good the trio sounds. The piano sounds realistic and rich in tone. The bass is warm and very powerful. And the sparkling sound of cymbals are captured so well that you can almost visualize exactly how the drummer is hitting them. This achievement did not go unnoticed by the Japanese jazz fans and audiophiles: This CD received Jazz Critique Magazine's 2006 Jazz Audio Disc Gold Award, which basically means "the Best Sounding Jazz CD" of 2006! If you are looking for a wonderful, fresh piano trio music with great sound, look no further. A little gem from Estonia, discovered by a Japanese producer, is now brought to you by Eastwind Import. Very highly recommended! Recorded April 2005 at Estonian Radio Studio 2. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Teet Kehlmann. Tõnu Naissoo (piano) Ulf Krokfors (bass) Brian Melvin (drums)
