Album Notes & Community Reviews

Collecting unaccompanied recordings from 1951, this Clef Records compilation offers a rare, rhythm-section-free look at his virtuosic piano technique. The performances brilliantly bridge the complex harmonic language of modern bebop with the relentless momentum of Harlem stride piano.
