Pianist
Gil Goldstein's
debut as a leader is mostly an introspective affair emphasizing wistful moods.
Goldstein
plays quite well and is heard in separate duets with bassist
Jeff Berlin
and
Fred Miller's
English horn, in a trio with
Berlin
and drummer
Bob Moses
, playing
"Without an Anchor"
with harmonica great
Toots Thielemans
, adding the Latin percussion of
Ray Barretto
to two numbers, and backing a vocal by
Mary Eiland
. Interesting music that rewards repeated listenings, but this LP has been out of print for quite awhile. ~ Scott Yanow
