Aries Dance by Randy Ingram

Aries Dance, pianist/composer Randy Ingram’s sixth record, is a celebration of musical motion and vital expression. Featuring legendary drummer Billy Hart alongside Ingram’s trusted collaborator, the first-call bassist Drew Gress, Aries Dance finds Ingram and his trio-mates interpreting a selection of Ingram’s original compositions alongside a few choice selections from Wayne Shorter and the Great American Songbook. It is a testament to Ingram’s authority at the keys, the elegance and commitment of his swing feel, that the sound of Aries Dance is definitively his own, even in such august company.
