Little Three is an album by Robin Holcomb, released in 1996.[3][4]

Critical reception

[edit]

The Village Voice called the album "both a return to the kind of rigorous composition Holcomb started out in and a proud shrug in the direction of pop accessibility."[5] The New York Times noted that "simple religious and folk tunes coexist with the more complicated harmonies of impressionism."[6] The Gazette wrote: "Unclassifiable 'serious' music for piano and occasional voice—Satie impressionism, American expressionism, Stephen Foster-like folk, and all of it beautiful, balanced and wise."[7]
