Uri Caine Trio - Siren

2011 release

When music fans talk about jazz piano, then they think about the trios of Fats Waller, Wynton Kelly, Bud Powell, Oscar Peterson, Hampton Hawes, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, or Keith Jarrett. The jazz piano trio seems to be the most interesting format for the audience and also for the musicians. This format gives to the pianist best possibilities to interact in an excellent way with the drummer and bassist. The colors of the different instruments can be given complete expression.

And this format offers also the best communication to develop sophisticated harmonic, melodic and rhythmic structures. John Hébert on bass and Ben Perowsky at the drums are Uri Caine's trio partners.

»Siren« is a very special album because this album is recorded in one recording session live-to-analog-two-track by engineer Ron Saint Germain and producer Stefan Winter. Caine has written for this trio new original compositions and he takes full advantage of swing, interaction, and dynamics.
