George Wallington

Album Notes & Community Reviews

As one of the first white musicians to fully assimilate the complex language of bebop, George Wallington uses this eponymous release to demonstrate his incredible dexterity and compositional flair. The sessions feature his rapid-fire, Bud Powell-influenced right-hand lines supported by a deep, swinging rhythm section. The record solidifies his status as a critical, albeit historically unsung, architect of early modern piano.
