MISHA MENGELBERG TRIO- Who's Bridge


Dutch pianist Misha Mengelberg is in full reverie with this trio. He is teamed with Americans Brad Jones (bass) and Joey Baron (drums), who pretty much act as Mengelberg's supporting cast, never getting too rhythmically flashy. The pianist's sound is a witty combination of modern harmonic invention and melodic improvisational forays into Cecil Taylor territory. Many tuneful compositions crop up during the 11 tracks, all Mengelberg originals. Each composition is a great example of the pianist's enormous musicianship. This is Mengelberg's finest hour. (AMG)
