Misha Piatigorsky Trio: Stained Glass & Technicolor Grooves

Pianist Misha Piatigorsky keeps the hard bop flame alive with his trio Charile Dougherty/b and Sam Fishman/dr at a concert recorded at the Glen Rock Jewish Center from January, 2017. With Fishman’s brushes, the trio is sleek on “Moten Swing” with a clever latin touch by Piatigorsky on “Pure Imagination. The team is delicate on “Superhero” and is rich during “Where’s the Sun?” Guest saxist Jeremy Fishman sits in for a handful, including a grooving modal take of “Afro Blue” that has the saxist tap into his inner John Coltrane, with the team on a fun NO kick on the gospel-themed “I Wish I Knew How It Feels to Be Free.” A real charmer.
