Title: Some of the least exciting music you'll ever hear
Review: I cannot believe ECM has fallen for this trio. Just because they're Nordic and fairly photogenic, that doesn't mean they should be chosen above all the aspiring jazz trios and quartets who don't have a recording contract.I've got most of Keith Jarrett's albums, and several Lyle Mays, Bill Evans, John Taylor and Chick Corea CDs, but I have to say that I've heard several hotel bar bands that are more alive than this trio. I'm not even convinced it's jazz -- it certainly wouldn't come within the Wynton Marsalis classification of the the genre.The trio's other album is just as soporific. (And I appreciate that most other Amazon reviewers think it's great.) This is Horlicks for the soul. If you want excitement in your piano jazz, try any of the Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note box set.
