Phishbacher Trio reimagines the Beatles to sound deeply familiar and magically fresh at the same time.
Phishbacher Plays The Beatles – a pairing of perfection. With this latest offering, New York City based pianist Walter Fischbacher and his trio are coming full circle. Phishbacher’s first album in 2004, titled “Chillin”, was grounded in the classic jazz piano trio tradition, and so is this latest album, to be released in early 2023. But as always, Phishbacher Trio is expanding the language of the piano trio with a blend of influences ranging from odd meter arrangements in the Avishai Cohen vein to latin Grooves reminiscent of Michel Camilo with a side of traditional Blues. Fischbacher’s signature reharms meanwhile add to the reimagination of each song without losing sight of the source material’s true essence.
