PAUL CORNISH You're Exaggerating! (Blue Note Records 2025 UK/EU 9-track LP pressed on black vinyl. Every artist who records for Blue Note becomes part of a grand lineage, but pianist Paul Cornish carries several legacies forward at once. You're Exaggerating!, his powerful and lyrical trio debut for the label, serves as both a personal statement and a marker for Blue Note's next generation. Joined by Joshua Crumbly (bass) and Jonathan Pinson(drums), Cornish presents nine original compositions inspired by personal memories, reflections, and idols. With an even-keeled texture, shrewd harmonic sensibility, and a gift for reshaping grooves mid-flight, Cornish entices with depth rather than mere display. The trio is joined by guitarist Jeff Parker on "Palindrome," adding an extra dimension to an album that blends thoughtfulness with spontaneous detours. Picture sleeve, factory sealed. Recommended)
