about

* In memory of our friend Mike Gehrke.

"Light in the Dark is the second recording from this innovative and engaging trio. In 2003, I reviewed their first Nagel Heyer release, Three for One (341) ... I really liked their debut CD, and I'm happy to report that this a worthy followup ... The drum-less format is still airy and light, and the music still intrigues and satisfies. But where the first disc was "full of moonlight," this one is squarely lit by the sun, revealing somewhat sharper edges and brighter energies. While Light in the Dark stands tall on its own, it also makes an excellent companion to Three for One - almost the yin to the other's yang. The first is perfect for relaxing on the couch, while this new one helps to finally get off it. Either way, this is consistently delicious music, expertly played."
~ Dr. Judith Schlesinger, All About Jazz

Roditi is often presented on records and in concert as a big band power player but here we have an appealing illustration of the intimate and elegant sides of his musical personality. More than that, this is very much a trio of equals with each player listening to the others and developing their ideas and moods. They are all inventive, melodic swingers so their music plays to the head, the heart and the feet.

Apart from "Rapaz de Bem" and "Amor de Nada", the numbers are originals; nine from Ignatzek and two from Roditi.

This is an album that is likely to grow on the listener for its honest jazz values. I urge you to give it a try.
