CD Reviews

I love this CD !!
12/12/1998
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I purchased this CD because of the excellent reviews in Downbeat and Jazz Times. This is a reissue of a date done by Dave in the late 1950's in a trio setting. I am most familiar with Dave in a solo setting, thus I was blown away by this performance. If you love Jazz piano as much as I do, GET THIS. It ranks with my Bill Evans trio stuff as all time faves, and this swings harder!"
Classic Trio Recording

"Dave McKenna is mostly known for his beautiful solo playing--playing in which he simultaneously plays the melody, adds a bass line, and comps a chord harmony--as if he had three hands. This album, however, is quite different. It's from 1958, and it's a trio recording. Compared to his solo playing, his piano work is sparse--or perhaps "lean" would be a better term. He sounds a bit like Bud Powell here. Clean, fast, very musical. This is one of my 4 or 5 favourite jazz CDs of all time, and I highly recommend it."
