Bert van den Brink
has a sizable discography, having recorded with a number of widely known artists including
Lee Konitz
,
Denise Jannah
Chet Baker
Toots Thielemans
, and
Philip Catherine
. This unusual solo piano date came about after the pianist created a number of musical fragments over a period of time, while he also adds full compositions and two songs by
Clare Fischer
.
"Themes and Variations"
takes one theme and explores it in a variety of jazz and semi-classical settings, including Afro-Cuban and a variation that sounds like early 20th century
Igor Stravinsky
"Valse Cliche"
has the flavor of
Dave Brubeck
, while the delicate
"Little Owl"
has an Impressionist air.
"Early Autumn"
suggests a gentle breeze on a clear day, with leaves gradually coming down one by one with the change of season.
"Tristesse"
is a dramatic sonata.
The pianist has previously recorded his haunting waltz
"Woods"
as a piano duet on two earlier sessions, though this solo interpretation expands upon its theme. Fans of
's earlier recordings will enjoy this solo session. ~ Ken Dryden
