"...pianist Terry
Trotter, bassist Chuck Berghofer and drummer Peter
Erskine, performing without rehearsal, depending
entirely upon the long experience and extraordinary
talent that this trio of veteran artists brings to
everything they play."
The Trio
Sometimes the most creative jazz takes place not on
the storied stages of the world's great cities or at
the popular sun-drenched summer festivals but in
intimate, dedicated jazz clubs such as Charlie O's
in Valley Glen, California. Going strong since 1987
and named one of the 100 best jazz clubs by
Downbeat, Charlie O's has hosted both the
super-legends and the virtually unknown. But it was
one fortunate audience that happened to find itself
at Charlie O's on January 27, 2009 when The Trio - pianist Terry Trotter, bassist Chuck Berghofer
and the renowned drummer Peter Erskine - got down to
business.
The recorded result,
Live @ Charlie O's (Fuzzy Music), is the sound of
three veterans of consummate skill and imagination
doing what they were born to do. The piano trio as
an entity has been a familiar and comfortable
component of jazz practically since the music's
beginnings. Erskine, Trotter and Berghofer respect
that tradition but breathe new life into it with
each of the seven tracks that comprise this sublime
performance.
1. Put Your Little Foot Right Out (11:25)
2. Afternoon in Paris (6:29)
3. Ghost of a Chance (8:52)
4. How Deep Is The Ocean (12:31)
5. Blood Count (5:46)
6. Charlie's Blues (10:02)
7. Lament (6:10)
