Reviews
Press quotes
“The trio of French pianist Rocheman, bassist Christopher Wallemme, and drummer Simon Goubert play eight numbers, tour of them original compostitionis by Rocheman. “I Can’t Get Started” shows Rocheman in a sensitive Light. “Tropic City”, “Alligators” and “Besame Mucho” reflect latin influences while the blues predominates on “Paris Blues”. “Sophisticated Lady” is recast in a samba mold. Rocheman, an impassioned pianist, interprest standards like “On Green Dolphin Street” or “Besame Mucho” with an attractive blend of the familiar and the original.”
