Of course, the melodic piano is a constant, but it is characterized by a slightly darker blues feel. In addition to the originals, the album features Evans' classic "Funkarello" and originals by jazzmen such as Claire Fischer, Horace Parran, and Lester Young. The guitar is added on three songs, and two songs, including "Lotus Blossom," are solo, but the piano trio is the core of this work, which has a sense of unity. Acoustic piano is played throughout. This is a piece overflowing with the charm of swingy piano that has been handed down to the present day.
