Red in Blues-ville

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Consistently utilizing his signature, incredibly sophisticated block-chord technique, the highly prolific pianist delivers an exceptionally relaxed, deeply swinging trio session. Backed by Sam Jones and Art Taylor, the interpretations are steeped in a heavy, after-hours blues feeling without sacrificing any bebop agility or structural elegance. The record flawlessly epitomizes the warm, highly accessible, endlessly inventive aesthetic of his late-1950s output.
