The Roger Webb Trio's album A Side is a masterful display of jazz musicianship. The album's tracks are a seamless blend of classic jazz standards and original compositions that showcase the trio's technical prowess and musical creativity.
The album's opening track, "A Time for Love," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its lush harmonies and intricate interplay between the piano, bass, and drums. The trio's rendition of "Stella By Starlight" is a standout, with Webb's piano soloing weaving effortlessly through the song's complex chord changes.
The trio's original compositions, such as "The Reckoning" and "The Promise," are just as impressive as their covers of classic jazz tunes. The trio's chemistry is on full display as they navigate the intricate rhythms and harmonies of these original pieces.
