The format of the piano-led trio experimented by Bill Evans was further explored
by Chicago's white pianist Denny Zeitlin
(1938)
who relocated to San Francisco in 1964,
on albums such as Cathexis (march 1964) for a trio, that set the theme
for his research, Carnival (october 1964), for another trio (Charlie Haden on bass),
and
Zeitgeist (march 1967), for the same trio, that
included the free-form Mirage.
He was not afraid to tamper with dissonance and electronics, for example
in the 14-minute El Fuego de las Montanas, off Expansion (1973),
in the four-movement suite Syzygy, off Syzygy (1977)
and in the melodramatic film soundtrack Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).
A psychiatrist by profession,
Zeitlin was pioneering a fusion of jazz, rock, classical and electronic music.
Zeitlin recorded the solo-piano albums
Soundings (1978),
Tidal Wave (january 1981),
Homecoming (1986),
Solo Voyage (november 2004).
