  • They Say...

    This CD represents an atypical chapter in pianist Kenny Barron's vast discography: a rare opportunity to record in an English nightclub (the Bass Clef) for an English record label (Wave). Recorded during a single evening in 1990, the veteran is joined by bassist Peter Ind and drummer Mark Taylor for six selections that are familiar to seasoned jazz musicians. Even though this was not a working trio, things gel very nicely and Barron happily stretches out each selection, with the shortest performance clocking in at just under nine minutes. Highlights include the breezy setting of "Like Someone in Love," the dramatic "Body and Soul," and a playful romp through two Thelonious Monk compositions "Rhythm-a-Ning" and a brisk "Well, You Needn't," with the latter showcasing Ind's fluid bass. This is one of Kenny Barron's lesser known CDs, but it is essential listening for anyone familiar with his music.
