Can definitely hear the Trane influence
This must be from 'Shine!' (2009). Beautiful. I hope Allen will keep on performing with this trio. Wish I was in NY these days.
Delightful. Feels like I am being given a jazz education. The music takes you somewhere and gently drops you off. Lovely indeed.
Nice sound - Love you Leonard!
Nice, forward-moving sound...makes me feel good, like the stuff I used to go hear at the Vanguard back in the 90s.
