The talented young pianist
Jacky Terrasson and his trio (with bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer
Leon Parker) find something new to say on a few standards (including a rare up-tempo version of "For Sentimental Reasons") and introduce five of
Terrasson's originals. Although he has does not have an original style yet,
Terrasson displays a great deal of potential for the future. Highlights include "I Should Care," "Just One of Those Things," and a medley of his "Reach" with "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." ~ Scott Yanow
