Careless Love
Erwin Helfer follows up his 2003 W.C. Handy nominated solo recording I€m Not Hungry But I Like To Eat - Blues! with a trio on Careless Love, a diverse collection of blues, boogie, and jazz piano. Helfer has been an integral part of blues piano history for the past fifty years, and he is the last living link to the Yancey€s legacy of Chicago blues and boogie piano. On this disc Erwin plays Mama Yancey€s signature piece €œMake Me A Pallet On The Floor€Â; an original composition €œParis But I Don€t Know Why€ which sounds like a classical etude, but also has a spunky barrelhouse flavor; jazz standards like €œSunny Side of the Street€ and €œAll of Me€ which jump off the keys; and the calypso-tinged €œJambalaya€Â.
