"Bill Charlap's restrained elegance, bell-like tone, understated phrasing and deep sense of swing already set him apart from the pack, but his repertoire is a special bonus. How many other piano jazz trio programs forego Monk, Bud and bossa, but include a couple of seldom-played show tunes? Charlap's first album since 2017 with his seamless, 25-year-old trio featuring the (unrelated) Washingtons - Peter (bass) and Kenny (drums) - Street Of Dreams is a dandy".
