Piano, guitar and bass: one of the two classic jazz piano-trio formats. The other has drums instead of guitar and the difference is striking. With the three instruments on a more equal footing, and a generally cooler dynamic range, every note and phrase stands out clearly. It's the perfect set-up for these three. Newton, who spent 10 years as Stacey Kent's pianist, has a deliciously crystalline touch, well matched by Oxley's mellow guitar. Cleyndert is not only a masterly rhythm bassist; he produces a wonderfully rich cello-like tone with the bow. Outstanding tracks include a Gershwin rarity, Who Cares?, and two of Newton's own pieces, Valse Jaq and All Grown Up. No fireworks, but a set to relish.
