Gordon Beck - Sunbird
Review by Naima Khan
Sunbird by Gordon Beck is an album that showcases the pianist's incredible talent and versatility. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all played with precision and passion.
Beck's playing is incredibly nuanced and expressive, and he is able to convey a wide range of emotions through his music. His technical skill is also on full display, with complex runs and intricate chord progressions that are executed flawlessly.
The album's standout tracks include the title track "Sunbird," a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Beck's sensitive touch on the piano. "Spiral," another original composition, is a more upbeat and energetic piece that features some impressive improvisation from Beck.
The covers on the album are also well-chosen and expertly played. Beck puts his own spin on classics like "My Funny Valentine" and "Stella by Starlight," infusing them with his unique style and sensibility.
