The record
A Paris studio date pairing bebop's original architect at the keys with Kenny Clarke, the man who helped invent modern drumming, in a trio session recorded decades after their Fifties heyday. Haig's touch stays crystalline and unhurried, proof his gifts for harmonic wit never dimmed with time.
