Joe Alterman -Give Me The Simple Life (Miles High Records 2012)

Alterman cites stars like Errol Garner, Oscar Peterson and Red Garland as influences. His own playing has an easy grace and, with his love of the piano's upper register and a neat line in percussive trills, he also exudes a positivity and optimism even on ballads such as Cy Coleman's "Why Try To Change Me Now."
