Jazz Times

Chuck Berg

A toe-tapping romp from start to finish, this live date recorded at the Port Townsend Jazz Festival is a perfect showcase for the ebullient pianistics of Hal Galper. With hand-in-glove support from bassist Todd Coolman and drummer Steve Ellington, the pianist transforms standards such as Hey There and What Is This Thing Called Love into veritable suites where nimbly choreographed episodes cast a new light on familiar material. In I'll Remember April, shifting rhythms buoy Galper as he casts spells at once bluesy and urbane. It‘s a bravura performance sparkling with adroit shifts in texture, timbre and tessitura .
