Album Notes & Community Reviews

Adopting a loose, overarching conceptual theme based entirely on meteorological phenomena, the celebrated pianist guides his trio through a highly relaxed, deeply swinging session. 'All Kinds of Weather' heavily features his signature block-chord technique and unhurried, immensely elegant single-note melodic lines. Accompanied by Paul Chambers and Art Taylor, the flawlessly executed date epitomizes the sophisticated, blues-inflected standard of late-1950s Prestige recordings.
