Julian Joseph Trio

“When Joseph gave vent to a right-hand riff […] it was a huge flourish that cascaded exuberantly up to the top of the keyboard, sometimes pausing en route to whirl on the spot like a Catherine wheel. Meanwhile the left hand seemed to stride across the keyboard in seven-league boots, every harmony liberally sauced with tangy ninths and elevenths. Pretty soon one felt drunk on it all.”  Ivan Hewett, Daily Telegraph.
