Album Notes & Community Reviews

Displaying his wholly unique, self-taught approach to the keyboard, the pianist presents a series of deeply swinging, unaccompanied solos. His signature technique鈥攁 steady, guitar-like left hand against delayed, highly expressive right-hand melodies鈥攊s fully crystallized here. The sessions highlight an idiosyncratic genius that bridged stride traditions with an incredibly infectious pop sensibility.
