Ran Blake - Crystal Trip
Review by Ginger Castro
Crystal Trip is an album that showcases the unique and eclectic style of pianist, Ran Blake. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all of which are infused with Blake's idiosyncratic approach to jazz.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Round Midnight," which is given a fresh interpretation with Blake's intricate and improvisational piano playing. This is followed by the title track, "Crystal Trip," which is a dark and brooding piece that features Blake's signature use of dissonance and unconventional harmonies.
Other standout tracks on the album include "The Band Played On," a hauntingly melancholic piece that features Blake's delicate touch on the piano, and "All the Things You Are," which is given a moody and introspective treatment that is both captivating and mesmerizing.
