Title: Five star music ... but there is a caveat
Review: The music on this album is uniformly superb and a joy to hear. No quibbles there. In fact, if you love jazz piano trios, give the sound samples on this page a listen and you'll probably be hooked.Here is the caveat: This is half of an expanded album that was released during the same era as this one:Kenny Drew And His Progressive Piano. To be sure, this album was, indeed, issued with with only the tracks listed in the sound samples. It was also released as The Modernity Of Kenny Drew (Norgran MGN 1002) during the same era.Tracks on this album were recorded in Los Angeles on September 2, 1954 by Kenny Drew on piano, Gene Wright on bass and Lawrence Marable on drums.One final caveat: before making a final purchase decision I recommend that you first check out6 Classic Albums, which is a six album set of Drew's work that includes this album. The price difference is surprisingly modest considering the vast difference in the number of tracks.
