<\/a>Stairway To The Stars<\/em> comes from the same engagement as Zeitlin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Trio In Concert<\/em><\/a>, released in 2009. If anything, the sequel finds the pianist even more intimately engaged with the veteran bassist Buster Williams and the young drummer Matt Wilson. When this was recorded in 2001 at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles, Wilson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s drive, rhythmic inventiveness and humor were just becoming widely known. He and Williams give Zeitlin sensitive support on ballads including the title tune, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Know What Love Is\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Spring is Here.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d They light a fire under Zeitlin for a blisteringly fast treatment of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oleo,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the piece that brought him early recognition in his debut recording <\/a>with flutist Jeremy Steig in 1963. Among the highlights in the new album: Zeitlin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s audacious chromaticisms in Wayne Shorter\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Deluge.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
