Berkeley-raised and Berklee-trained, Paul Cornish came up through the same fertile Bay Area pipeline that has quietly produced some of jazz's most compelling young voices over the past decade. Landing on Blue Note at this stage of his career signals the kind of institutional confidence the label reserves for pianists it believes can carry the tradition forward without being burdened by it. Paul Cornish - "You're Exaggerating!". You're Exaggerating! Features Cornish with the rhythm tandem of bassist Joshua Crumbly and drummer Jonathan Pinson, performing nine original compositions, most of them inspired by personal memories, reflections and idols. Helmed by a generous, uplifting bandleader, the trio chops up and reinvents the groove at will and embarks on unforeseen detours. Cornish's approach, in it's even-keeled texture and shrewd harmony, is a sort of mastery that entices rather than merely impresses. Tracklist 1. DB Song (5:33) 2. Queinxiety (3:50) 3.
