Title: Piano Jazz meets John Williams. Result: interesting
Review: Of William's music, certainly some of the themes lend themselves much better to jazz than others. I would say that the ballades, i.e. the slower themes, work well with a jazz interpretation.Kudos to Trotter for actually pulling it off, although the "average" Star Wars / Williams fan will not appreciate this stuff nor will the "average" jazz enthusiast.Trotter's mistake was to use a saxophone; overdone, almost a cliche'. Think brass.That said, this album has merit and is worth a listen . . . if you like piano/trio jazz and if you like Star Wars.
