  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Original release: 1999

    ”A pianist who originally hails from Italy, Crosara is well-versed in bop lore, and his delicate flow might indicate a debt to Bill Evans.”
    John Janowiak, Down Beat Magazine

    “… the kind of sensitive swing seldom heard since Bill Evans. […] Crosara’s […] rubato meanderings […] are precious insights into his fertile imagination and harmonic daring.”
    Harvey Siders, JazzTimes Magazine

    “The piano echoes notes like twinkling stars, beauty surrounded by silence. […] you’ll dance through your tears and love the loneliness, I did.
    John Barrett Jr, JazzImprov Magazine

    “Francesco Crosara proves he is a pianist with expert chops and broad interests. […] Crosara has an awareness of world music but a firm grounding in the modern jazz vernacular. His major piano influences are unsurprising: Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. Like them, he has an interest in electric as well as acoustic jazz.”
    Joel Roberts, All About Jazz
