Blindfold Test #14

You got me thinking that it's time to persuade him to re-enter the jazz arena.

Yes, do! He was one of the most exciting pianists of that generation--a really personal sound despite the Monk/Weston lineage--& I really regret his long sabbatical from recording "straight" jazz.

I'd wholeheartedly agree, but these four are a perfect statement, and any addition would be repetition ..... ?

I understand Ikaven's statement about the dark edge, but it still has a very positive vibe - and it isn't simply retro - that's why I kept his CDs and sold the harper Brothers' and Justin Robinson's ... ;)

Listened to #10 once more, and I really really like it! It's quite mainstreamy-stuff, if you know it a bit better. Solos are built just as one ought to, but then everything is a bit strange, a bit unusual, some notes are not exactly where they belong to... Love it! Got to look for that disc some day!
