Pianist Kevin Hays, bassist Ben Street, and drummer Billy Hart reconvene their collective trio for a second release, but unlike their first live album recorded in the heart of the pandemic, BRIDGES was recorded in the cozy confines of the recording studio. They lose none of the chemistry and magic so apparent on the previous record in this setting but add to it significantly with the closeness and camaraderie possible now without masks and distancing. There is an unusual warmth to this music, to this album of rich harmonies and subtle ensemble interaction by three modern masters, that distinguishes it as subtly unusual and exceptional.
