A CD I like a lot. Richard Wyands on piano plays beautifully, as do both Peter and Kenny Washington. Lalama is in top form and the tune selection is first rate. A winner in my book.

Solo piano, apparently taped onto a cassette, they would have us believe...amazingly good sound.

This is the kind of record I wish had come out when I had time to just listen to one side of one record at a time, over and over, days/weeks of nothing else, learn every little thing on there inside and out.

Now that I don't have that kind of time, I wish he had edited his composition to make it more compact...or take one or two parts and expand them out as a record unto themselves. But that's my problem, not his. This is fertile music indeed, and even if you can "spot the influence" at any given time, there's a momentum that has me hoping that this is nowhere near the final form this man's music is going to take.

Onward!

Gosh, I just LOVE this album.  I keep coming back to listen to it on YouTube every few days lately:

Mr. Sullivan, on this album, displays the ideal mix of genuine artistry and unabashed showmanship which is right in my listening zone.  If this album has not been reissued on CD, then it is certainly a buried jazz treasure.  If you don't have time to listen to the whole album right now, the above video is cued up to a joyous little audio portrait sure to put a smile on the face of any one who has/has had a little four-legged, furry friend, "Frolicking Fido".  After that's over, you may as well stick around for the last tune, a swinging, sumptuous "Keepin' Out of Mischief".
