Review by Peter Sjöquist

The Michael Jefry Stevens Trio has released their latest album, For Andrew, which showcases their exceptional musical talent and creativity. The album is a tribute to the late Andrew Hill, who was a renowned jazz pianist and composer. The trio consists of Michael Jefry Stevens on piano, Joe Fonda on bass, and Emil Gross on drums.

The album features eight tracks, each with a unique style and vibe. The trio's improvisational skills are on full display throughout the album, with each member contributing their own unique sound to the mix. The tracks range from upbeat and energetic to mellow and contemplative, showcasing the trio's versatility and range.

One standout track is "Beneath the Surface," which features a hauntingly beautiful piano melody that gradually builds in intensity before settling back into a more subdued groove. Another standout track is "Andrew's Dream," which pays homage to the late Andrew Hill with its intricate piano work and dynamic bass and drum rhythms.
