The record

The title says alone and the credits name only Bryant at the piano, with Rudy Van Gelder engineering. Seven pieces on New Jazz in 1959, three of them carrying blues in the name -- 'Blues #3', 'Me And The Blues', 'My Blues' -- alongside 'Lover Man' and 'Rockin' Chair'. Van Gelder's piano sound is the other draw.
