Description
Pianist Kenny Drew spent the last three decades of his life in Copenhagen as a stalwart of vibrant European jazz scene, he left quite a number of outstanding recordings both as leader and sideman on SteepleChase. Here on his first trio recording for the label, Kenny Drew is backed by - to quote Melody Maker - Danish bass wizard Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and intelligent purveyor of rhythm Albert "Tootie" Heath. 'Dark Beauty' whose album cover is graced by a portrait photo of his daughter Sabrina is one of the most popular albums of his recording career.
"Extremely charming mainstream jazz." - Swing Journal
