Bill Anschell - Shifting Standards

Pianist/composer Bill Anschell's recordings are often filled with his unique and vibrant original compositions or surprising, liberated arrangements of jazz & pop classics. For Shifting Standards, Anschell depends on the uncanny shared intuition that's been developed over ten years with his trio-mates, bassist Jeff Johnson and drummer D'Vonne Lewis.

Well-loved standards from jazz and Great American Songbook composers unfold, capturing the trio's live chemistry and spontaneity on material ranging from Dizzy Gillespie's Con Alma and A Night in Tunisia to Leonard Bernstein's under-recorded gem, Some Other Time.

Bill Anschell would be a badass wherever he lived, even Greenwich Village. He is an impeccable, distinctive pianist with a valuable body of work on Seattle's Origin label. �JazzTimes
