This recording is superb example of the virtuosity of a live piano trio. Taken from his four night run at the iconic Cotton Club, Tokyo, Japan in February 2017, this is Joey Calderazzo at his best. The spontaneity, virtuosity and playfulness of the trio is found throughout this performance. Featuring five original compositions and one cover, this is a shining example of the piano trio format; full of expression, musical charm and just plain fun!
2015
Joey has delivered us a gorgeous and passionate recording joined by bassist Orlando le Fleming and drummer Adam Cruz.
The recording is an amazing document of his musical process and a milestone of his progress, synthesizing his decades of creativity into something new, sublime, and supremely centered as a composer, improviser and bandleader.
2011
Saxophonist Branford Marsalis and pianist Joey Calderazzo pair up for the ruminative yet adventurous 2011 duo date Songs of Mirth and Melancholy. While both musicians are clearly jazz titans, here the focus is on sympathetic, creative interaction and honest readings of the melodic classical music-inflected material. – CD Universe
2007
Joey Calderazzo’s Amanecer is mostly a solo piano recording. Calderazzo strides effectively on “Midnight Voyage,” puts plenty of emotion into Michael Brecker’s “Sea Glass,” and comes up with intriguing ideas throughout his “Toonay.” ... Every selection on this well-conceived project has its purpose and is memorable in its own way. Highly recommended. - Scott Yanow, CD Universe
