Synopsis

Album Description

Pianist Sir Charles Thompson is best known for his historic 1945-47 Apollo recordings with Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon ("Takin' Off," available on Amazon), and his signature tune, "Robbins' Nest," has become a jazz standard. A mainstay of New York's dynamic 52nd Street scene in the '40s and '50s, Thompson recorded with Coleman Hawkins, Illinois Jacquet, Buck Clayton, Leo Parker, etc. This long-awaited homecoming, impeccably recorded live at Chicago's Jazz Showcase in 2000, features appearances by Eric Schneider and Art Hoyle.

CD Reviews

Best I have bought lately

George Kershaw | Bradenton, FL USA | 11/28/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Excellent tracks, well mastered; lots of presence. All tracks first rate. no duds. Most tracks include piano,sax, trumpet,drums, bass. But not Robbins'Nest. Still,its the second best version of Robbins'Nest ever. The best done by Thompson with more side men at JATP (I think). Have been trying to replace that for years."
