Riley, Howard

Live With Repertoire

On 'Live With Repertoire,' British pianist Howard Riley focuses on standards, particularly Monk and Ellington, blending familiar tunes with his unique improvisational style. Recorded live in Leicester in 2011, Riley delivers a captivating set, balancing embellished renditions like 'I'm Getting Sentimental Over You' with more straightforward interpretations like 'Ba-Lue Bolivar Ba-Lues Are.' His originals, such as 'Now One' and 'Now Two,' showcase his inventive approach, while his take on ''Round Midnight' adds subtle dissonances. Despite his Parkinson's diagnosis, Riley's artistry remains vibrant, making this album perfect for lovers of jazz piano.
