<\/a>This masterpiece of quiet reflection is the pianist\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first recording since surgery repaired spinal deterioration that kept her out of action for more than two years. With exquisite slowness, she explores eight standard ballads and her composition \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Paradise of Love.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d In her notes, Williams writes, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I wanted to make an album that while still rooted in jazz, relied less on technique and improvisation and more on![\"Jessica](\"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/rifftides\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Jessica-Williams-Smiling-3.png\")
<\/a> emotive depth, melodic purity and space.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Her approach to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153My Foolish Heart,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Summertime,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153But Beautiful,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153When I Fall in Love\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I Fall in Love Too Easily\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and the others accomplishes that goal. Largely rubato, she lingers over phrases, nowhere more movingly than in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It Might As Well Be Spring.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d For all the melodic purity, Williams\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s harmonic originality is on full display. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
