Canadian pianist Dave Restivo is best known for his work with the legendary Rob McConnell’s Boss Brass, but this time he goes trio (with a cameo guest) on this luminous session. Fawn Fritzen brings lovely and glistening voice to “Bittersweet Goodbye” while gives a Broadway feel to “Kintsugi”. In the trio setting with Jim Vivian/b and Alyssa Falk/dr, the fingers go rapid on a race scene with modern tones on “It’s You Or No One”, while the digits bounce on the galloping “Raven’s Wings”. Restivo is full fisted a la Red Garland on the title piece and bops with the kinetic Falk on “Palermo Street Scenes” while the hip high hat guides the way on the luscious “Baby Steps”. Music in warm and confident hands.
