One of the finest piano trios ever played amazing music at the 2015 Atlanta Jazz Party — Rossano Sportiello, piano; Nicki Parrott, string bass; Chuck Redd, drums.
This lengthy performance — three moods, three interludes, three tributes — honors Erroll Garner, George Shearing, and Count Basie, with MISTY, SHE, and SHOE SHINE BOY — creating a world of melodic improvisation, moving from sweet slow rumination to Kansas City romp, Harlem stride — with beautiful string bass and drum work along the way.
Magnificent music: the sort of creative effusion that happens when one of these musicians is on the stand, and even more when the three of them get together.
May your happiness increase!

Wonderful! An all-star trio honoring three jazz greats:Michael,thanks for posting this classic.
I have booked Nicki and Rossano with Eddie Metz multiple times at Hamilton College and always been thrilled with what they present. The perfect combination of musicality, personality and professionalism.
