PIANO SPECIAL: A dozen recent piano releases. We’ll progress from solo piano
[by Dick Hyman and Jessica Williams] to a piano/bass duet [Laurence Hobgood and Charlie Haden] followed by five trios [led by Ben Neuman, Jon Alberts,
Frank van Bommel, Marilyn Lerner and Michael Jefry Stevens], then the augmented trio of Mike Garson, the Gene Harris Quartet, the John Beasley Septet, ending with the Bill Cunliffe Nonet. If the CD includes a blues, that’s the cut I’ve chosen.
