A wide-ranging sampler of one of the most imaginative jazz pianists going, with selections ranging from the strutting, heavily accented No Moon at All to a feather-soft brush-over of Rodgers' and Hart's Spring Is Here. The whole is marked by a lively, note-clear touch and a beat that shifts and slides with the mood...
