Plays the Cole Porter Song Book

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Revisiting material he had successfully tackled earlier in the decade, the virtuosic pianist utilizes a new trio configuration featuring bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen to explore classic American standards. The group effortlessly navigates the sophisticated harmonic structures of the legendary composer with remarkable fluidity, immense swing, and highly tasteful melodic invention. It stands as a masterclass in elegant, technically flawless small-group jazz interpretation.
