The record
A trio date that lets Wallington's understated bebop lyricism breathe, with Kotick and Stabulas keeping time light and conversational rather than propulsive. Mixing five originals among familiar standards, it shows the pianist's underrated compositional voice alongside his touch as an interpreter.
