Tommy Crona Jazz Trio - Reflections

Swinging piano jazz led by Swedish pianist Tommy Crona, presented on a Hybrid SACD, which can be played on any standard CD player.

Chick Corea has also become one of my favourite pianists and has always been a great inspiration to me. I began listening to him in the early 70's. When his album Return to Forever was released, it was a true milestone; a new way of playing electric piano. It's very sad to know that he passed away. In this album I have included two of his songs. They are not very well known, but beautiful songs of Chick Corea. Mirror, Mirror, is a jazz waltz. It goes round an around, like a mirror house in an amusement park. Then we have Bud Powell, which is a straight forward jazz tune dedicated to the wonderful pianist Bud Powell. Then there are songs of Monk, of Bernstein and also some jazz standards.

The last song of this CD is a traditional Swedish tune called Visa fr�n Utanmyra. This song became well known after Jan Johansson's great interpretation. I have rearranged the song to be in 3/4 time signature and with different harmonis. - Tommy Crona
