For this solo performance recorded by the BBC at the 1997 Bath International Music Festival, Gordon Beck rattled off some classic standards in his crisp, clean and soulful style that sits somewhere between Monk and Peterson, with a cursory sprinkling of Jarrett.
Two Cole Porter songs, another from his primary influence Bill Evans, the self-penned Almost There and a bonus piece by Allan Holdsworth contribute towards the 68 minutes from 7 tracks on this attractively packaged and, most importantly for solo piano, perfectly mastered album of beguiling personal ragtime / bebop / ballad -leaning interpretations. Another excellent release from Art Of Life Records.
