There's the limpid romanticism of Jimmy Van Heusen's classic 'Darn That Dream' and a fascinating take on 'Isn't She Lovely' (the pianist highlighting Stevie Wonder's prowess as an improviser, said to play 'Giant Steps' in soundchecks). \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTony Tixier plays in the bands of Christian Scott, Seamus Blake and Wallace Roney.
