La Tendresse by Spike Wilner

Jazz fans will delight as Spike Wilner's piano trio (Dezron Douglas on bass and Joe Saylor on drums) navigates steadily through landmarks of the past while carrying tradition forward into fresh realms of modern melodic improvisation. With a captivating musical program that explores aspects of the feminine archetype and the hidden nature of romance, Wilner succeeds in putting forth an emotional performance of uplifting joy and brooding intensity. The 2012 album "La Tendresse" is a work of gentle contemplation and passionate reverence by an musical artist seeking to explore the profound depths of our collective emotions, while ultimately remaining true to himself and relevant to that which is swingingly straight ahead, and should bring smiles of delight to listeners everywhere.
