Album of the week:                  

Taylor Eigsti, Let it Come to You (Concord)

At twenty-three, Californian pianist Taylor Eigsti has fifteen years stage experience and this, his sixth album, confirms him as a significant young jazz talent. He has a wide appreciation of jazz, bringing his own energetic perspective to standards such as I Love You and Caravan and putting a delicate, ethereal spin, with the equally youthful guitarist Julian Lage and Columbian harpist Edmar Castaneda, on Tom Jobim’s Portrait in Black and White. It’s Eigsti’s own melodic, muscular and highly detailed compositions, however, and particularly his Fallback Plan Suite, that really point to an exciting future.
