JAZZ: Free Jazz, EASY LISTENING: Mature
Details:
"Facets" is the latest release from veteran keyboardist Paul Potyen. It contains 15 original jazz compositions. Said Sunny Buxton of San Francisco''s jazz station, KSCM FM, "It''s self-assured, thought-provoking adult music-fare."
While most of the tracks are solo piano performances, one cut - a beautiful Brazilian ballad called "Barreiros" - also features jazz guitarist Steve Boynton. And the final track is a work performed by Potyen on multiple layered synthesizers titled "Three Short Stories."
This collection of original pieces ranges from a modern flavor somewhat reminiscent of Keith Jarrett''s solo work, to Brazilian and Afro-Cuban styles, to driving bebop, and soulful ballads. "I thought Facets was a fitting title, given the range of musical styles on this disc," commented Potyen.
The CD shows yet another side of the versatile pianist, who has played with the Tony Williams Lifetime, the Headhunters, Chet Baker, Mel Torme, Jimmy Witherspoon, Tom Harrell, Mark Murphy, Bobby McFerrin, Mark Isham, and the San Francisco Symphony, to name a few.
His previous outing-Mountain Standards Time-was also a solo piano effort, but one entirely devoted to old musical chestnuts. Potyen was also the featured pianist on Got Sauce?, a recent effort by Latin-Jazz group Soul Sauce, as well as jazz vocalist Lisa Baney''s debut release.
