?Love Chaconne? is the closing track, and is the longest and most abstract piece on the CD. ?Uncertainty? is cooler and more aloof, but gorgeous in its flowing introspection - that it ends with a major chord, feels like the soul-searching has had positive results. ?Feu Follet (the ?spook? light?)? has a nice, easy flow with a strong sense of mystery it also has an unusual rhythm that lightens the mood and adds a bounce. Isadar?s cover of Liz Story?s ?Wedding Rain? is wonderful - this is a piece I often work on with my advanced students, and everything about Isadar?s interpretation of the piece seems right without being a carbon-copy of Liz?s recording.

?Waiting? is a beautiful, flowing mood piece full of questions and a lovely melody line. The meter changes are fascinating, and the bluesy beat on ?Wild Things? is infectious.įrom there, the mood seems to gradually darken and become more introspective. The first three tracks are lively and upbeat (?Active Imagination?, ?Throwing the Dice?, and ?Where the Wild Things Are?) with an easy, jazzy, improvised feel. He lists his inspirations as Liz Story, Keith Jarrett, and Bill Evans, and I can hear traces of all three in his playing, but find his composing and playing styles to be uniquely his own. Isadar?s style is original, and his pianism is excellent. I would say that Active Imagination definitely belongs near the top of the heap. I love this CD! It constantly amazes me how many outstanding composer/pianists there are out there - especially in relation to the few who are highly (commercially) successful within this broad genre.
