What do you do when you’ve mastered your craft? Picasso once said, “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.” Just as Picasso spent his career reinventing his style to push the boundaries of his creativity, Larry Sieberth has kept himself vital by exploring the various facets of his musical identity. He established his command of Booker-style piano on the album New New Orleans; Arkipelago took jazz to the other side of the solar system; Heartstrings was an exploration of emotion via synth; Silhouettes brought that emotion back towards the acoustic; Estrella Banda explored Latin rhythm, and now with An Evening in Paris, Sieberth comes to a sort of equilibrium. He synergizes all of those explored facets and then takes them into a contemporary mode. The album ricochets between deep grooves, frantic rhythm, and tender thoughtfulness before volleying to the pandemonium of the final track. With incisive voicings, warm sax tones, and melodies that ache to speak to us in words, An Evening in Paris is just like and unlike anything Sieberth has done before.
