This album was recorded in one afternoon and everything was a single take. We were ready! It seems that we’ve been rehearsing for this record for the last thirty years. Be ready! To be ready is the mark of a true Jazz Musician – ready for anything and to simply not-think, react! If someone hurls a baseball at your head, are you going to sit there and consider your options or are you just going to automatically duck? Well, that baseball being hurled at your head is the kind of jazz I like to play. My teacher, the great Harry Whitaker, was all about not-being- prepared and yet, of course, being ready – like a master!

Spike Wilner strides back on to the scene with his latest release "La Tendresse." Jazz fans will surely delight as the Spike Wilner's piano trio navigates steadily through landmarks of the past while carrying tradition forward into fresh realms of modern melodic improvisation. With a captivating musical program that explores aspects of the feminine archetype and the hidden nature of romance, Wilner succeeds in putting forth an emotional performance of uplifting joy and brooding intensity. The message is moving and the statement is solid when Wilner's piano shines brightly and the trio swings sweetly with the able support of bassist Dezron Douglas and the explosive metrics of drummer Joey Saylor.

I have an idea that pianist Spike Wilner has read Kenny Werner's book Effortless Mastery: Liberating The Master Musician Within (1996), because Koan emulates Werner's lessons in surrendering one's self to music. Werner's teachings on enlightenment flow through this trio recording, Wilner's sixth as a leader. As a disciple of Harlem stride and ragtime, Wilner, like so many modern pianists from Thelonious Monk to McCoy Tyner, has the ability to open his own book at any page in the history of jazz. With his capable trio of bassist Tyler Mitchell and drummer Anthony Pinciotti, he delivers a dozen crisp and elegant compositions, half of which are his own.
