Search - Jimmy Rowles :: Chess Players

Pianist Jimmy Rowles was one of jazz's most gifted interpreters of the melodies of the great American songbook. His spare style of playing accentuated only the essential, the apt and the finely honed musical phrase. This 1976 date was the second recorded in the Choice Studios. Seasoned colleagues Buster Williams - bass and Billy Hart - drums, help produce intriguing versions of under worked classics by Wayne Shorter, Johnny Burke and Duke Ellington as well as one of Jimmy's comprehensive trademark medleys.
