Negative Positive
Title: Phenomenal
Review: Simply one of the greatest jazz piano trio recordings ever. Perkins had a completely inimitable touch and time-feel, amazing focus and lucidity, and a unique sense of form and solo architecture. He raised the level of every group he played in (catch him, for instance, in that "Pepper Adams Quintet" album from 1957), and really deserves to be remembered as a great jazz pianist. He did record quite a bit during his brief life (w/Oscar Moore, Stuff Smith, Jim Hall, the Curtis Counce group among others), and if you love the piano, it's all worth checking out.
