More by Charlie Mariano & Jasper van't Hof:

I really like that record.

More EKE: Disc 14

Disc 1 Terrific!

Now spinning: Now listening to first LP in this 2-LP set. This music was originally released on Riverside as The Modern Touch.

Back to Kenny Barron: as heard in this 32 Jazz compilation:

CD compiles two LPs: #1-6 originally released as Stormy Monday (Fantasy 9558) #7-10 originally released as Sky Street (Fantasy 9514)

For the purposes of this discussion, it doesn't matter whether the pianist is the leader or not -- as long as the pianist plays a prominent role. For example, my list includes an album by the Mads Vinding Trio, Open Minds, that features pianist Jean-Michel Pilc in a sideman role. Similarly, Ethan Iverson selected Miles' Round About Midnight as his album to represent Red Garland. So there's no need to restrict your choices to pianists who happen to be leaders or co-leaders.

Next up:

Doh! Another oversight on my part, John. My first choice would be The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 1. I need to listen to those Pablo recs some more. Which volume do you like best, Ken?

Now playing: Craft reissue. Get by the ridiculous cheesecake cover and you'll discover some excellent music. Harold Land's playing is especially fine.

Yep.
