Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured in a remarkably brief, intense recording session shortly before his death, the New Orleans piano prodigy unleashes his brilliant, highly eccentric technique. 'Classified' stands as a breathtaking testament to his unique amalgamation of classical flourishes, barrelhouse boogie-woogie, and profound rhythm and blues.
