CD Reviews
Great Piano Trio
M. P. Wright | HOUSTON, TX USA | 05/01/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"If you like jazz piano trios or just good, hard swinging jazz, this cd is hard to beat. Every tune on the disc is very entertaining and upbeat. Check out the warp speed version of "Ain't She Sweet". Very reminiscent of Oscar Peterson and Monty Alexander at their best. Highly recommended!"
Swinging Piano Trio at it's Best
M. P. Wright | 03/01/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Being a jazz pianist, I am a particular fan of the jazz piano trio. This earlier album of Benny Green's is an example of a piano trio at it's best. Contrary to Benny's later albums (kaleidoscope), there are no other instruments on this album. The tunes all swing hard and groove. Benny is one of my favorite comtemporary jazz pianists, and this earlier album shows his developed swinging and exquisite arrangements. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the jazz piano trio. Also check out Benny's Testifyin' album - especially if you like live albums."
One fine CD!

"Benny is one of the masters walking among us. I have the pleasure of personally knowing Benny through attending several of his his concerts in Arizona and you will not meet a more spiritually connected musician. This CD offers a good look into how Benny was in the earler stages of his career and when you hear him live, as all who love this music should make a point of doing to support the artform, you can see how the foundation gets wider, deeper and stronger to support his desire to pay homage to the great piano masters who influenced him. I bought this recording to get one particular song, "Cupcake", which has some of the best chord harmonies you'll hear in a piece. Like I said, go to his website and find his concert close to you. He plays all over the world and spends a lot of time in small venues in the US....Jay in Arizona"
