This is the master Jon Hendricks with a rhythm section leaded by Larry Vuckocich, an original pianist which follows some of the important Hendricks' works.
Here you'll find a hot audience in a show which begins with a delicious Bossa Nova by Hubert Laws 'No More' and follows with a hot blues 'It Was A Dream' with a Vuckovich splendid solo.
Here you'll also find some of the biggest Hendricks' hits in hot live renditions like 'Shiny Stockings', Herbie Hancock's 'Watermelon Man', 'Gimme That Wine' and 'Cloudburst'.
Program ends with two Brazilian songs by composer Edu Lobo 'Arrastao' and 'Reza' both big original hits by the late Brazilian singer Elis Regina and both sung by Hendricks in Portuguese.
Delicious!"
