Pianist Yonathan Avishai displays an old school stride mixed with modern thoughts and spaces on this mix of solo reads and trio works with Yoni Zelnik/b and Donald Kontomanou/dr. On his lonesome, Avishai melds vintage sounds akin to Willie “The Lion” Smith parlor parts with joyful prances a la Errol Garner during “Tango.” His take of “Mood Indigo” is deliberate, restrained at the reins with an almost New Orleans dash by the teammates, while the military snare on “Les Pianos de Brazzaville” is a chiming joy. The trio agonizes on a flowing “When Things Fall Apart” as Avishai ripples and flutters dashes and dots, while he’s elegant and thoughtful on a dreamy “Shir Boker.” Stately statements.
