Always a favourite!

Saw Feldman at Ronnie Scott's "old place" in 1959 , during a triumphant Xmas home visit to the UK "just after he joined Cannonball Adderley", as Simon Spillett told me.

When I saw him he played only vibes, but it was his piano playing, as on this disc, that fascinated me. Tellingly, he said that Carl Perkins had been a big influence on his distinctive chording style.

Yeah, for some inexplicable reason, it's been recently re-released as "Piano for Dancers Only." :blink:

Well, they've gotta sell it somehow!  IIRC that's a track on the album, a nice tune from Jimmy Lunceford in the 30s. (I wonder if that was the first of the many "For ------s Only" tunes (e.g. Jimmy Heath's "For Minors Only").

Yeah, It's the Sy Oliver tune "For Dancers Only" as the very first track,
but it gives the impression that it's a solo piano album to those who
wouldn't know any better (besides ignoring half the tracks on vibes).
