Jazz, Jazz, Jazz

Jazz, Jazz, Jazz, is an album from the Michael Wolff Trio's. The goup's pianist/composer's instrumental competence glistens on every track. Wolff, a New Orleans native, was taught piano by his father at age eight and since then has conspired with such phenoms as the late Warren Zevon and the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra. The result is a record that will brighten any jazz admirers' day as it showcases the genre at its absolute finest.

The first track has a sultry sound squired about by the low piano notes. The percussion work adds to the smooth tone of the song as the pace becomes even more curbed, making the song one that writhes with gentle appeal.

The second track changes to an upbeat tempo; its sprightly and precise piano work will move listeners. The percussion play is quick, which makes the song an engrossing one.

The third track starts off with a whimsical rhythm comparable to a fantasy, but in a musical framework. The rhythmic piano work seems to be unending. Wolff's knack on the piano is incontestable.

The fourth track has a delayed rhythm that is so silky yet smoky in its administration that listeners can picture hearing this song as they amble into their local piano bar. The beat of the song has a magnetism that will pull listeners in and put them in a romantic mood with its soft beats.

"Jazz, Jazz, Jazz," by the Michael Wolff Trio, is filled with tracks that are both expressive and relaxing. The instrumentation on every song is excellent and confirms Wolff's prowess at tickling the ivories.
