Superb disk.

Bill Evans Trio: Explorations





This music is, for me, quite complex in nature yet still very engaging to listen to. There is a wonderful balance between these two elements. I must credit the bass player here.

Wycliffe Gordan: Cone and T Staff





I am very impressed with the quality of both the music and the music making coupled with the performances of all concerned on this album. Both the music and the performances are very engaging. These performances have a really good presence. Melodically, this album is very engaging and rhythmically it is also very well sustained throughout. The music is always well driven and delivered.

Johnson, Ammons, Meade Lewis, Yancy, Pinetop Smith, Cow Cow Davenport, all greats. Plus Barrelhouse Chuck and Erwin Helfer of (somewhat) more recent vintage.
