Bill Charlap and his long-standing trio swing their way through a selection of American Songbook tunes, including charts from Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, and Kenny Burrell. Unmissable for fans of straight-ahead piano trio jazz.

Grammy Award winning pianist Bill Charlap returns to Blue Note Records with Street of Dreams, a sublime album featuring his revered longstanding trio with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington. 'Street of Dreams' is a delightful mix of Great American Songbook favorites and songs by great jazz composers including Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington, Kenny Burrell, and Dave Brubeck.

Christmas 2021

Golden-era jazz runs right through pianist Bill Charlap and it pours from his fingertips…It’s not all standards and the trio’s take on Kenny Burrell’s dapper ‘Your Host’ is a polished gem. Altogether, this album is an uplifting listen, a perfect antidote to an anxious, complicated world.

January 2022

Bill Charlap’s restrained elegance, bell-like tone, understated phrasing and deep sense of swing already set him apart from the pack, but his repertoire is a special bonus.
