Our Take

Steve Plews Trio's latest offering, "The Importance of What Is Not," is a delightful romp through the whimsical world of jazz. Combining virtuosic piano playing from Plews himself with the tight rhythmic backbone provided by his talented bandmates, this album is a sonic treat for the ears.

From the opening track, "Swinging Donkeys," to the closing notes of "Funky Frogs," the trio takes listeners on a musical journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. Plews' compositions are playful and inventive, drawing on a wide range of influences from traditional jazz standards to modern experimental sounds.

The real standout on this album, however, is the impeccable chemistry between Plews, bassist Benny "The Beat" Thompson, and drummer Lucy "Thundersticks" Davies. The trio's rapport is palpable, each instrument weaving seamlessly in and out of the mix to create a rich tapestry of sound.

Tracks like "Jazzy Jellyfish" showcase Plews' skill as a composer, layering complex melodies over infectious rhythms to create a truly dynamic listening experience. Meanwhile, slower, more introspective pieces like "Melancholy Manatee" provide a welcome change of pace, showcasing the trio's versatility.

Overall, "The Importance of What Is Not" is a joyous celebration of creativity and collaboration. With its catchy hooks, inventive arrangements, and infectious energy, this album is sure to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Highly recommended for fans of jazz with a twist.
