Details

[Edit]

British pianist Gordon Beck has had a wide-ranging career, playing with everyone from Tubby Hayes to Allan Holdsworth, the Phil Woods European Rhythm Machine to Helen Merrill. On Seven Steps to Heaven, he teams up with three excellent if obscure French jazz musicians, stretching out on Billy Childs' "Backwards Bop" and six jazz standards. Four of the seven performances exceed nine minutes, yet there are no slow or aimless moments. Beck is the main soloist, with altoist Pierrick Pedron (slightly reminiscent of Jackie McLean) making the trio a quartet on four of the seven selections in exciting fashion. Seven Steps to Heaven is a recommended slice of modern mainstream jazz.
