Dedication is an album by pianist Steve Kuhn which was recorded in 1997 and released on the Reservoir label.
[1][2][3] The AllMusic review by Ken Dryden called it "a multifaceted trio session" which "opens with a pair of enjoyable originals ... does justice to two compositions by bassist Steve Swallow" and "His fresh, somewhat darker approach to Kenny Dorham's catchy "Blue Bossa" starts subtly but grows in intensity.
His bright, swinging take of "It's You or No One," the lush setting of "For Heaven's Sake," and a loping waltz treatment of "Like Someone in Love " all merit high praise".
[4] In JazzTimes, Bret Primack noted "What truly delights on Dedication is Kuhn’s phrasing and elucidation, the ability to make each composition his own.
Also notable, the way his sympathetic rhythm section pushes the music and increases the energy level".
