Roberta  Piket: Domestic Harmony-Piket Plays Mintz

Pianist supreme Roberta Piket continues her musical relationship with Billy Mintz even when going solo in piano, as she dedicates this latest album to interpretations of his compositions. Piket has a rich and classy touch, reflective and deeply resonant on themes such as “Ghost Sanctuary” and graceful on “Flight.” She can go full-fisted on “Blinds Eye” and is Monkishly playful on the sin-songy “Ugly Beautiful”. The tribute “Cannonball” is a soulful delight, and “Beautiful You” has a Bill Evans clarity and harmonization that is lacking in so many of today’s artists. This lady, and this album, are both keepers.
