An absorbing set from Werner, which for this writer inevitably brings to mind an equally impressive but totally different solo performance in Galway in (I think) 2008. The six pieces here include Hancock's ‘Dolphin Dance’, Evans's ‘Blue In Green’ and Brubeck's ‘In Your Own Sweet Day’, with only the middle one lasting less than 15 minutes. If you reduce them to a modus operandi, it could be as follows: starting with an out-of-tempo improvisation having the barest connection to the standard in question, which very gradually introduces figures or chord-movements from the basic material, before becoming a virtuoso in-tempo rhapsody on the familiar original. But this description makes it all seem very mechanical, whereas the enchantment of listening to Werner's ruminations is much more compelling. The three remaining tracks are shorter, with similar approaches to ‘All The Things You Are’ and ‘The Anniversary Waltz’, and only his original ‘Lorraine My Sweet’ being closer to theme-followed-by-variations. The whole thing will be an object lesson to pianists but ought to be of great interest to other improvisers.
