Marc Copland reduces the piano trio to a study in close-voiced harmony and rubato phrasing — New York Trio Recordings, Volume 2: Voices finds him mining modern jazz and post-bop idioms with hushed dynamics and crystalline touch. The set on Pirouet favors introspective balladry and elastic time feels over showy solos, spotlighting Copland’s attention to inner lines and voicing. Essential for fans of intimate piano trio work.
