Title: MELODIC, FLOWING TRIO
Review: Kenny Drew - pianoNiels H.O. Pedersen - bassAlbert "Tootie" Heath - drums2-cd set recorded May 21 & 22, 1974This trio was the "house band" for the Montmartre Jazzhus in Copenhagen during the late 60's and early 70's. In that setting they accompanied and recorded with touring American expatriates like Dexter Gordon and Johnny Griffin. Here, the three of them get to stretch out in the studio, playing in a very melodic, flowing style. Drew has a light touch on piano, and Pedersen shines as both soloist and accompanist. A little like the Bill Evans trio with Scott LaFaro.
