Pianist Joachim Kuhn’s New Trio with Chris Jennings/b and Eric Schaefer/dr mix some clever covers to balance their creative originals. Kuhn’s touch is warm and clear, impressionistic and relaxed on his melodic title track, expressionistic and searching as Schaefer clip clops on “Mustang” and strides nimbly as the team bops on “But Strokes of Folk.” The team’s read of Ornette Coleman’s “Night Plans” is wonderous and reflective, and the selection of The Doors’ “The Crystal Ship” is a clever and slinky cocktail club interpretation. Even Mussorgsky gets a nod as Kuhn creates ripples over the mallets on cymbals on “Le Vieux Chateu.” Rich interpretations that keep you attentive.
