And His Progressive Piano

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as a remarkably fluent, intensely swinging early showcase, the highly respected session pianist steps firmly into the leadership role for a trio date. His playing is characterized by a deep, inherent blues feeling and flawlessly executed, Bud Powell-inspired rapid-fire runs. The exceptionally solid, deeply engaging record established him as a highly formidable, conceptually advanced voice within the evolving modern jazz idiom.
