This mostly ballad-oriented trio set with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Charlie Persip was pianist Joe Albany’s final recording. Albany, whose career (especially on records) did not really get going until his final decade, is in generally good form on such tunes as “Autumn In New York,” “They Say It’s Wonderful” and “Confirmation.” The album concludes with a brief interview that sums up some aspects of his episodic life. – Scott Yanow
