Cry Me a River is an album led by pianist John Hicks, with bassist Dwayne Burno and drummer Victor Lewis.
"John Hicks was very much in demand during the last two decades of his life, often releasing several CDs annually for a variety of labels."
The album was recorded at Clinton Recording Studios, Studio A, New York City, on June 27, 1997.[1] It was produced by Tetsuo Hara and Todd Barkan.[2]
The trio was Hicks (piano), Dwayne Burno (bass), and Victor Lewis (drums). "Most of the session focuses on ballads, highlighted by his spacious, insightful scoring of 'Beautiful Love' and a strolling, bluesy take of the usually bittersweet 'You Don't Know What Love Is'."
The AllMusic reviewer concluded that the recording "leaves the listener wanting more from the trio".[3]
