Steve Kuhn Trio: Live At Birdland (Blue Note). The veteran pianist recreates the trio he led twenty years ago with bassist Ron Carter and drummer Al Foster. Deeply admired, always in demand, but never given the recognition his talent warrants, Kuhn is playing with greater depth and emotional charge than ever. It is good to see him get the exposure that comes with a release on a major label and good to hear him confident and assured with the fine support of Carter and Foster and an enthusiastic audience.
