Peter Beets Trio - First Date Live

Review by Marl Yuji Sangacena

The album First Date by Peter Beets Trio is a delightful collection of jazz music that showcases the trio's exceptional musicianship and creativity. The album features a mix of original compositions and classic jazz tunes, all of which are performed with precision and passion.

The trio consists of Peter Beets on piano, Marius Beets on bass, and Gijs Dijkhuizen on drums, and their chemistry is evident throughout the album. Beets' virtuosic piano playing is a highlight, as he effortlessly weaves intricate melodies and harmonies that showcase his technical prowess and musicality.

The album opens with the upbeat and playful "Swinging at the Haven", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Other standout tracks include the soulful "Blues in the Closet", the contemplative "First Date", and the energetic "Oleo".
