Mark Soskin

Empathy is the perfect title for this intimate session from pianist Mark Soskin and bassist Jay Anderson – a set that's spare, but never sleepy or too relaxed – as the players really understand each other well enough to swing at most moments, even when gentle – as they make their way through a batch of material that was mostly penned for the record by Soskin.

His tunes include "Fuchsia", "Better Times", "Little Fingers", "Small Victories", "Shadow Dancing", and "Waltz For Zoe" – all beautiful numbers with a vibe that's as poetic as their titles – balanced by nice takes on "Three Flowers" and "In A Silent Way".
