Jazz album: Bruce Barth

Although he’s on the sunny side of 55, American pianist Bruce Barth could be described as a veteran. With 13 albums as a band leader under his belt and credits on more than 100 recordings, this latest album ranks as one of his finest.

Originally from Pasadena in California he left the sunshine of the Golden State in his late teens to further his academic career at New England Conservatory in Boston before heading to New York in 1988. While there he quickly began to generate his own post-bop heat and has been steadily delighting audiences with his sparkling virtuosity.
