LYNNE ARRIALE TRIO
(Martin Gjakonovski replaces Jay Anderson)
Lynne Arriale-piano, Martin Gjakonovski-bass, Steve Davis-drums
‘Lynne Arriale’s brilliant musicianship and bandstand instincts place her among the top jazz pianists of the day.’ (The New York Times). ‘No American pianist has made quite as strong an impression over the past five years as Arriale. Very much a lyrical improvisor in the mould of Bill Evans, she has a sharp eye for highly melodic material.’ (The London Times). ‘Stunning piano work. The trio has obviously attained the level of communication paramount to all great threesomes.’ (Jazziz Magazine). ‘A singular voice as a pianist and as a leader… a powerhouse… Arriale’s playing is haunting, gorgeous,… a breeze of warm sophistication and accomplished pianism… expressive passion… intelligent interpretation.’ (Downbeat Magazine). With bass player Jay Anderson and drummer Steve Davis she has been impressing people and press since over a decade. In 1994 she did her only Dutch concert so far, at the North Sea Jazz Festival. And now, finally, she plays at the Bimhuis.
