Review of Alfredo’s 8/10/09 Show at Vibrato

13 August, 2009

Don Heckman, a regular contributor to the Los Angeles Times, has written a review of Alfredo’s recent show at Vibrato. An excerpt of the article follows:

“It’s hard, in fact, to think of a jazz pianist since Art Tatum so capable of reaching across the complete range of the instrument’s expressive potential. In one tune, his crisp bebop lines recalled Bill Evans’ early playing on the George Russell mid-fifties Jazz Workshop album Other pieces suggested the melodic inventiveness of Keith Jarrett. And still others displayed a nascent style of his own, contrasting angular, leaping passages and thick harmonic clusters with sudden, unexpected arcs of lyricism.”
