I've been quietly obsessed with pianist Aaron Diehl for a few years now. I first noticed him on singer Cécile McLorin Salvant's 2017 double CD Dreams And Daggers, where his somewhat old-timey style was ideally suited to the songs she had chosen and arranged into a long suite with narrative flow and dark irony. And he got plenty of space in the spotlight; he wasn't just there to support her vocals. (Check him out on "Devil May Care," streaming further down.) But that was their third album together, and he also had four records out as a leader — 2009's Live At Caramoor and 2010's Live At The Players, independent releases which I've never been able to track down, and 2013's The Bespoke Man's Narrative and 2015's Space Time Continuum on Mack Avenue. On Bespoke, he combined original compositions with versions of tunes by Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, and Modern Jazz Quartet vibraphonist Milt Jackson…and an arrangement of the third movement of Maurice Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin.
