Steve Kuhn presents his sonorous piano in the unusual format of two different quartets (one with Tom Harrell, and one with Bob Mintzer, with neither of whom he has previously recorded), as well as in trios. From the heartrending and definitive version of Quincy Jones' "The Pawnbroker," which features Bob Mintzer's soulful musings, to the fragile, poignant, and pensive rendering of "Romance," to the moving portrait of love lost highlighting both Kuhn's mastery of piano tone and his harmonic subtlety and sensitivity on "Good Morning, Heartache," this recording explores all the nuances of love, all the seasons of romance we all experience.
