For a change of pace, adventurous pianist
Steve Kuhn performed a dozen standards (mostly at slower tempos) on this New World release. Half of the selections are duets with bassist
Harvie Swartz, while the other songs are unaccompanied piano solos. In addition to such notable tunes as "Body and Soul," "Danny Boy," "'Round Midnight," and "Lover Man,"
Kuhn cooks a bit on
Sonny Rollins' "Airegin." An excellent outing. ~ Scott Yanow
