Frank Kimbrough Trio

I love the fact that the pianist is pro prance: Those right-hand runs usually arrive with esprit intact, spilling with the kind of joy that invariably buoys expressionism. In trio settings, he has a way of floating. The post-bop savvy he’s developed from studies of Andrew Hill and others gives way to a singular sense of momentum that has a magical side.
