Album Notes & Community Reviews

During a period of relative stability late in his career, the foundational architect of bebop piano delivers a driving, fiercely rhythmic trio session. Accompanied by George Duvivier and Art Taylor, his legendary right-hand runs navigate a set of complex bop originals and standards with immense clarity and unrelenting swing. The album stands as a vital, highly impressive testament to his enduring genius.
