Liner Note Author: Linda Presgrave. Recording information: Eastside Sound Studios, New York, NY (01/15/2005-06/18/2005). Authors: Ursula K. Le Guin; Marcel Proust. Photographers: Stan Chovnick; Linda Presgrave. Arranger: Linda Presgrave. The fine New York-based pianist Linda Presgrave performs music by a variety of top female jazz musicians on this adventurous post-bop set. In addition to her five originals, there are obscure compositions by Shirley Scott, Mary Lou Williams, Melba Liston, and Alice Coltrane plus a piece co-written by Marian McPartland and Peggy Lee and the set's only standard, Ann Ronell's "Willow Weep for Me." Utilizing two different rhythm sections, Presgrave is joined on six of the dozen selections by soprano saxophonist Stan Chovnick. Three of those numbers also have Oliver Lake on alto and flute. Lake, best known for his work in avant-garde settings, sounds quite at home in this modern mainstream set. The main star, however, is Linda Presgrave, whose piano style is pretty original and whose five songs are worth exploring. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
