Bill Carrothers salutes the hard-bop trumpet giant, Clifford Brown. Carrother's CD "Joy Spring" is a jazz adventure, sensitive and thrilling, soulful and surprising. The trio takes a new look into each piece, and in the process comes up with totally organic forms. It is a highly individualistic reflection of a very unique magic.

PRESS QUOTES
"Pianist Bill Carrothers brings together one hell of a trio with the inclusion of Drew Gress on Bass and Bill Stewart on Drums. Highly recommended for jazz and bop lovers!" (Damian Erskine, Bass Musician)

"Pianist Bill Carrothers has crafted a different type of homage with Joy Spring, using the piano trio format to flesh out some malleable constructions of songs associated with trumpeter Clifford Brown." (Dan Bilawsky, AllAboutJazz)

"No doubt this recording will bring more attention to Carrothers, as well as the legacy of Brown and Powell." (Brad Walseth, JazzChicago.net)

"Joy Spring zeros in on a smaller slice of a more recent history: the music of died-too-young hard bop trumpeter Clifford Brown... This is a masterfully sequenced album." (Dan McClenaghan, AllAboutJazz)

"Whether Carrothers and his trio are coloring within the lines, or painting impressionistic strokes with harmonic freedom, the music evokes the vivacity of Clifford Brown and the period of bebop in which he excelled." (Jacob Teichroew, About.com)

"Carrothers' latest outing, Joy Spring, examines not any specific time period but rather one person: bop trumpeter and legend Clifford Brown. On 12 compositions either written by or associated with Brown, Carrothers and his trio - bassist Drew Gress and drummer Bill Stewart - create a touching and masterful tribute that balances ballads with breakneck numbers." (Doug Simpson, Audiophile Audition)

"In thie superb tribute, Carrothers has Drew Gress (bass) and Bill Stewart (drums), kindred spirits who reinforce his individuality with their own." (Ray Comiskey, The Irish Times)

"... this trio album from pianist Bill Carrothers, bassist Drew Gress and drummer Bill Stewart is doubly welcome: as a fine recital in its own right, and as a reminder of the terrific music by the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet of the mid-1950s." (Gearge Kanzler, Jazz Times)

"Il pianista Bill Carrothers invece di trasferirisi nella metropoli che non dorme mai, New York, ha preferito, come ci indica dal suo sito, prendere casa in un posto di campagna nel Michigan." (Vittorio LoConte, Musicboom)
