Some Aspects of Water is a live album by pianist Geri Allen recorded in 1996 in Denmark at concerts celebrating her award of the 1996 Jazzpar Prize and released on the Storyville label.[1]
Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "Throughout the date, Geri Allen shows why she is one of post-bop's top stars. Highly recommended".[2] JazzTimes stated "As an example both of Allen's sense of longer form and of larger ensembles, it is interesting-but frankly, its wholeness and beauty transcend such considerations".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz criticized Allen's hesitant playing of standards, and thought some of her own pieces were patchy.
All compositions by Geri Allen except where noted.
