The American pianist Bill Carrothers is a quietly unconventional thinker. Called the \u00ab\u00a0pianist of the 21st century\u00a0\u00bb by the French newspaper Lib\u00e9ration, he made his entry into the Penguin Guide To Jazz as \u00ab\u00a0a class act, already endowed with a formidable breadth of experience, and able to fit in with most contemporary jazz situations.\u00a0\u00bb When he first appeared on the New York jazz scene, he was immediately celebrated as a major new discovery. Bill Carrothers often approaches the interpretation of jazz standards in an intensely exciting way and from an intriguingly different angle than most other musicians. His brand new CD \u00ab\u00a0Castaways\u00a0\u00bb is quite impressive, as the trio plays with a special feeling for atmospheric depth. Bill Carrothers and friends are performing a music that renews and reinvents.
