      I didn't know until recently that "Onaje" means "Sensitive One" in Swahili. Thank goodness this record was made. 1976. Solo piano. The centerpiece of the album, for me, is the longest tune, a Gumbs original called "Street Life." I usually prefer trio records to solo, but man. This album is not your usual piano fare. What pianists do you hear as influences when you spin this record? Some Jaki, some McCoy, and maybe even a little Stevie Wonder? Another note—covers of "Giant Steps," no matter how brilliantly played, are usually forgettable, but not Gumbs' version. He makes it his own. I think this is more than a good record. It might very well be great.

      So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

      By Gheorghe · Posted

      Oh, I feel sorry for you too. In our case, Serena told me years ago, that in case she might die before me, I must promise to take a stage piano to the incinerary services to play "When I fall in Love (I know it will be forever). Last year, after I recorded "Waltz for Serena" which you sure know, she added this also to the wish list.  So I played them two tunes before she was incinerated.  Thank you so much ! Yeah, much too soon and she looked so beautiful, like a model. Even when she was dead she looked like if she would sleep.
