In A Mellow Tone
Wednesday April 15th, 2026 with Jim Reil and Ron Steeds
Classic piano trio records led by Marilyn Crispell and Richie Beirach
Tonight Jim will be exploring two of his all-time favourite piano trio recordings: Eon (1978) led by Richie Beirach with Frank Tusa on bass and Jeff Williams on drums/percussion; and Amaryllis (2000) led by Marilyn Crispell with Gary Peacock on bass and Paul Motian on drums/percussion. Amarylis is meditative, spacious, crystal clear--that classic ECM sound. EON is more varied, with restraint alternating with intensity but it's also an ECM recording. Long live Manfred Eicher!
