Some of the best recordings come from small labels far from big-time pressures. The Easton, Pa-based pianist Dave Leonhardt plays with passion, as do his collaborators, drummer Lewis Nash and bassist Peter Washington. Reflections has lots of crystalline moments; the trio shoot for beauty and often achieve it. The CD courses with swinging times too, often with a Latin and Brazilian tinge.
