Jerry Lu Trio

Pianist Jerry Lu and his trio present their new album In Two Minds - a fascinating interplay of swing and groove, furious tempos and soaring ballads. With their own compositions and sensitive arrangements from the Great American Songbook, the trio creates an elegant, profound world of sound that goes straight to the heart.
The music presents itself directly and straightforwardly and it is all too easy to miss the profundity - it is so catchy and elegant, the melodies and rhythms flow into each other so lightly, even casually. Between sparkling chords and rapid runs, Lu sets the decisive accents with pinpoint accuracy and gives the right tone the right effect at the right time.

"Jerry Lu is one of the finest pianists of his generation in the music today, worldwide. He's got that hard to define "New York" thing in his playing - a swinging feel coupled with sophisticated harmony and melodic lines. His arrangements are crisp and the band is tight...enjoy this record!"
