Villaume is a Danish pianist whom I’d never heard of prior to finding this CD. I took a chance, only recognizing one name among the musicians; Ali Jackson the drummer. But something about the CD felt right and so I bought it and was very pleased when I got home and gave it a listen. This is contemporary jazz that gets just the right amount of tradition, edge, and swing in the balance. It’s exciting, challenging, upbeat, and fresh. A big thumbs up!
