  • Description

    Bill O'Connell is as a pianist and band leader of international renown, a veteran of post-bop, Latin jazz and hard bop. He has worked with jazz greats such as Chet Baker and Sonny Rollins and is joined on this latest recording by vibes player Dave Samuels and trombonist Conrad Herwig.

    O'Connell and company are more than great players sharing space on a CD. Rather, they comprise an agile and sentient ensemble with an uncanny ability to shift seamlessly between Latin Jazz and swing, each exceptional soloist soars with such fluid harmonic and rhythmic support. The result is this collection of truly great performances.

    Personnel: Bill O'Connell (piano), Steve Slagle (alto and soprano saxophone), Luques Curtis, David Finck (bass), Steve Berrios (drums), Richie Flores (percussion), Dave Samuels (vibraphone on tracks 1, 3), Conrad Herwig (trombone on track 5)
