Album Notes & Community Reviews

Igniting a legendary run of trio recordings for Contemporary Records, the exceptionally gifted pianist proves to be a fierce, deeply blues-steeped counterpoint to the airy West Coast cool scene. Supported flawlessly by Red Mitchell and Chuck Thompson, his incredibly rhythmic, gospel-inflected attack drives the bop standards with immense, unyielding momentum. The highly celebrated, impeccably recorded session instantly established him as a premier, dynamically intense keyboardist.
