Alex_Brown_nrThis album is a veritable master class in the art of modern jazz piano. From the scintillating first track “Prologue,” which pits Brown against the nimble marimba of Warren Wolf, to the angular intro chording on “Elektric,” (his recorded tribute to Chick Corea), Brown unleashes a torrent of musical tenacity across this impressive disc. He’s a young piano lion poised for great things. (Sunnyside, alexbrownmusic.com)
