And Then Again is a spirited live recording of the Bill Charlap Trio featuring the pianist's longtime band with Peter Washington on bass and Kenny Washington on drums at the Village Vanguard. The album captures one of the great working jazz groups of our day on a particularly inspired Saturday evening at the iconic NYC jazz club. It's a delightful hour of high-wire swing and stunning balladry that documents the trio's continuing evolution. The repertoire includes pieces by great jazz composers including Thelonious Monk, Dave Brubeck and Kenny Barron as well as timeless standards like "All The Things You Are," "Darn That Dream," and "The Man I Love."
Listening to pianist Bill Charlap is akin to hearing acoustic jazz in its purest form, and that's the overriding feeling you have while listening to his 2024 concert album And Then Again.-Matt Collar, AllMusic, 4/5
