Album Notes & Community Reviews

Concluding his remarkably successful, rapid-fire series of trio recordings, the highly gifted pianist continues to dominate the Los Angeles modern jazz scene. Supported flawlessly by Red Mitchell and Chuck Thompson, his incredibly rhythmic, gospel-steeped attack provides a muscular, hard-swinging alternative to the traditionally airy California sound. The impeccably recorded tracks remain a definitive, immensely vibrant testament to his unparalleled right-hand agility.
