Omschrijving

William Morrison "Bill" Charlap (born October 15, 1966), 
is an American jazz pianist. Charlap began playing piano at age three. 
He later studied classical music, but he has remained most interested in jazz.

Bill Charlap brings a sometimes energetic sometimes lissom touch 
to standards from the Great American Songbook on his new album, 
Uptown Downtown, recorded in New York with his regular sidemen, 
bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington.

There is such an air of American song artistry about this very fine album, that even 
the things that are not songs per se morph into songs without words, as it were, 
under the expert hands of Bill Charlap, surely one of the most expressive jazz pianists at large today.

Just put Uptown Downtown on in the background and let the music grow 
around your room, your car, your head and heart-space. There is a kind of 
wholesome therapy at the hands of the Bill Charlap Trio that results in musical balm.
