Our Take

KIRK LIGHTSEY Live At Smalls Jazz Club is a delightful romp through the vibrant world of jazz piano. Lightsey, known for his nimble fingers and improvisational prowess, dazzles on this live recording, transporting listeners to the intimate confines of the legendary Smalls Jazz Club.

From the opening notes of the lively and energetic "All the Things You Are," it's clear that Lightsey is in his element. His fingers fly across the keys with precision and flair, breathing new life into classic standards and original compositions alike.

The camaraderie between Lightsey and his bandmates is palpable, with each musician feeding off the other's energy to create a dynamic and immersive listening experience. The rhythm section is tight and the solos are scorching, making every track a joy to behold.

Highlights include the melancholic beauty of "Body and Soul," where Lightsey's soulful playing reaches emotional depths, and the rollicking energy of "Cherokee," which showcases the band's infectious groove and virtuosic skill.

Overall, KIRK LIGHTSEY Live At Smalls Jazz Club is a must-hear for any jazz lover. Lightsey's masterful playing and the band's infectious energy make this album a standout in the crowded world of jazz recordings. Sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you – you won't be disappointed.
