Ben Riley has died.

I think every one of us has more than a few records with him - I really started to like his playing when I heard him with Ron Carter's quartet on the Piccolo double LP. Heard his playing with Monk only much later. Barron, Carter and Riley were a great rhythm team.

R.I.P.

My recommendation is this CD, which has excellent recorded sound.

I never got to see Ben Riley perform in person, but I have enjoyed what I have heard of his work as a sideman with Monk and others.  Looking at his AllMusic credits, I was reminded of some of his sideman work that I have and found several albums that I would like to hear.  Thank you for the music, Mr. Riley, and rest in peace.
