Rahman's style is deeply rooted in jazz, yet it reflects her classical background, British\/Bengali heritage, and her extremely broad musical taste. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eZoe Rahman's first solo piano album of originals and jazz evergreens, with first takes producing most of the forceful and tender results. Rahman's bass-stamping, McCoy Tyner-influenced rhythmic power surges through 'Red Squirrel', and her lullaby 'Fast Asleep' strikes a characteristic balance of warmth and strength. The Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore song 'Kar Milono Chao Birohi' is an anthemic melody over deep, rolling chords, and 'Epicentre' is an impressionistic, free-rhythmic original. Duke Ellington's 'The Single Petal of a Rose' is casually wrapped in graceful embroideries, Abdullah Ibrahim's 'Sunset in Blue' rocks with the South African legend's youthful vim, and 'These Foolish Things' combines a jaunty swing piano feel and an intensifying bluesy clout. Dreamland is a powerful testament to this fine pianist's growing authority.\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eReview quotes:\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'A joy to find Zoe fully in the spotlight, uninterrupted, on this dazzling solo session.
