专辑介绍:
For nearly 60 years, pianist John Lewis has co-led the Modern Jazz Quartet and successfully fused Bach, bop, and the blues into his own brilliant musical conception. He's recorded only twice as a solo pianist, which makes this offering all the more special. Alone at the keyboard, the New Mexico-raised Lewis displays the kind of spare and swinging pianism that recalls the "storytelling" style that made Count Basie and saxophonist Lester Young famous. Lewis's sly, rollicking version of "Sweet Georgia Brown" is a superb example of how to swing and embellish without wasting notes, as are his takes on the standards, "I'll Remember April," "Willow Weep for Me," "Cherokee," and "Don't Blame Me." Lewis's invigorating improvisation breathes new life into his own compositions. "Afternoon in Paris" is blessed with an engaging lyrical melody. "Two Degrees East, Three Degrees West" rings with the cool hues of the blues, while "At the Horse Show" is an impromptu, fleet-fingered workout. Lewis's "Django" is moving elegy to guitarist Django Reinhardt, rendered in a mournful, Ravelian mood, and "For Ellington" is performed in the same saintly and sanctified aural image of "Come Sunday" and "Heaven" by this underrated master of African-American piano.
