Pianist and composer Leslie Pintchik has been slowly amassing an impressive catalog which showcases her compositional and technical acuity. This most recent album teams her in a mix and match situation with Satoshi Takeishi/perc, Michael Sarin/dr, Scott hardy/b-g, Ron Horton/tp-fh, Steve Wilson/as and Shoko Nagai/acc.The core team delivers a delicate read of “ I’m Glad There Is You” with a mix of Pintchik’s sensitive touch and delectable percussion, while the team gets delightfully hip on “Your Call Will Be Answered…” A samba’d “Happy Dog” and bohemian “Hopperesque” includes Left Bank accordion work, and the horns create a New Orleans funky atmosphere to the title track.” Pintchik’s touch is rooted in post bop but with a marrow of romanticism always flowing through the capillaries, making this a gem of a session. Any upcoming trips to So Cal?
