Beltrani has played classical music and jazz side by side since childhood, and says that the habit makes his hands instinctively reach for unusually dense jazz voicings.
In this live set, that background lets Mussorgsky, Debussy, Rachmaninoff and Satie keep their melodic outlines while the trio pulls their harmony and rhythm elsewhere.
