Live at the Westward Look features Larry's
trio in superb musical form.
The tasteful and fresh approach the ensemble takes in performing its
jazz standards and inventive originals is pristinely captured on the CD.
The Tucson Citizen
music critic, Daniel Buckley, says: "Listening to Larry Redhouse play is like hearing all the great keyboard
players of fusion jazz's primal infancy - Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jan Hammer, Joe Zawinul and Keith Jarrett - swallowed
alive, re-emerging through a single pair of hands.....
Likewise this trio interprets and reinvents classic fare with the perfect mix of virtuosic firepower, coloristic taste and
a dancer's graceful sense of shifting momentum. Had this CD come out in 1973 rather than 2003, Redhouse's band would surely
have carved a place alongside Weather Report, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Herbie Hancock's Headhunters and Return to Forever
as among the most formidable of the era."
Josh Young of the Tucson
Jazz Society comments, "Fresh ideas are improvised with virtuoso technique- some with introspection, others foot-stomping
hot ! Soul satisfying music."

The Artist-
Larry Redhouse, born in
Monterey, CA., August 9th 1959, is the youngest of six siblings, all of whom are exceptional musicians. He has been playing jazz
piano for over 30 years.
Larry has also played the timbales,
latin percussion, and trumpet. These musical influences can be felt and heard in his horn-like linear piano solo
lines and impeccable sense of implied time.
By maintaining emphasis
on improvisation and composition over the years, it is evident Larry's artform has become mature and focused.
Mr. Redhouse and his trio have
played at concerts featuring such jazz greats as pianist Chick Corea, trumpeter Terence Blanchard and saxophonist Donald Harrison
and trio has performed in Washington DC. at The Kennedy Center's famed Jazz Club to wonderful reviews.
Like these uncompromising artists,
Larry's interpretations of jazz classics and direction in original compositions always shares his unique and gifted
understanding of life's song.
