Luca Sestak: Lighter Notes

Pianist Luca Sestak teams up with drummer Nicholas Stampf and bassist Alexander Broschek and guest trumpeter Oli Parker for a mix of ideas that lean towards inspirations from the classics. Sestak gives a rapid run to the races on “Toccata” and spins around on a wild ride of “Minute Waltz”. A delicate “Nocturne” and serenade of “Solfeggieto” are balanced by a dreamy read of “The House of the Rising Sun” and dots and dashes of “The Final Lap”, with Sestak playing peek-a-boo on “Everyone’s Busy”. Parker joins in for a Tin Pan Alley’d “Blame Game” and there’s a New Orleans soul fest on “Anticipation”. Put this one on your Chopin Liszt.
