This article first appeared in All About Jazz: New York.Suzanne Lorge is a singer and writer living in Manhattan.If Steve Kuhn's name does not immediately spring to mind when considering the most talented pianists
on the jazz scene today, this album should change that.This disc also
demonstrates how the magic of such a performance can be captured and shared in a fine recording.One is reluctant to single out other performances from the set because each has something to
recommend it.Kuhn, Carter and Foster have worked together before and it shows.Ashley Kahn's highly readable liner
notes remind us this same trio performed at the Village Vanguard 20 years earlier.Time has only burnished
the art of all three men, both as individual performers and, more importantly as an outstanding combination.Live at Birdland is a compelling disc that amply rewards with repeated listens.Visit Steve Kuhn Trio on the web.Steve Kuhn Trio at All About Jazz.Personnel: Steve Kuhn: piano; Ron Carter: bass; Al Foster: drums.Compiled by Michael Fitzgerald
