Almost Carefree finds the ...

Joe Parillo CD discography Light but not lightweight, Morning in the Garden finds New Englander Joe Parillo approaching acoustic post-bop piano in a manner that is relaxed and mellow, yet substantial and not without intellect or complexity. Think of Keith Jarrett and Bill Evans at their most laidback, then add a bit of Joe Sample or Lonnie Liston Smith, and you can picture what this intimate trio date (which employs Nick Cudahy on bass and Mike Connors on drums) sounds ...
