Origin by Dean Stockdale Trio
Origin is the debut album from the Dean Stockdale Trio. Rooted in the tradition of the classic piano trios, Origin features new arrangements of American standards and originals which were specially written for the album.
Reviews:
“Origin” is an excellent calling card for Stockdale’s capabilities as both a pianist and a composer. The original writing is consistently engaging and the playing, by a very well balanced and democratic trio, uniformly excellent. Ian Mann
Nine tracks, seven of which are Stockdale compositions plus two standards, the musicianship is of the highest order, as is the quality of the studio recording. Mingus to open with – Nostalgia in Times Square – followed by three Stockdale originals, the Sammy Fain masterpiece Out of Nowhere, the listener will conclude that Origin is nothing short of excellent. Bebop Spoken Here
Stockdale's approach is undoubtedly eclectic but already has it's own identity and produces jazz of excellent quality. Jazz Journal
