The record
Late-70s MPS trio work finds the pianist in typically unruffled form, all touch and taste, backed by bassist Isla Eckinger and drummer Kurt Bong. A quietly swinging session from a player whose Basie-schooled elegance kept him in demand across four decades of sideman and leader dates alike.
