LeeAnn Ledgerwood - Renewal (2017)

An album that bursts out beautifully, right from the very first note then continues to hold us rapt throughout, with that strong sense of surprise we love from a really well-done piano trio album! LeeAnn Ledgerwood's no stranger to the recording studio, but this album really feels like something special and different a set that has her musical imagination maybe sparked with even more swing than before, all balanced with a warmly lyrical touch and set up in perfect communication with the bass of Ron McClure and drums of Billy Hart!

The album's the sort that someone might be playing, and you'd step over and ask "What's that?" especially on the more upbeat numbers, which really grab us. Titles include the originals "Renewal" and "I Wish You Knew" plus "All Blues", "Summernite", "502 Blues", "A Shade Of Jade", and "Autumn Leaves". © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
