Description
One of the last of the classic bop generation, pianist and composer Freddie Redd at the age of 86, fragile yet debonair, still performs with lyrical clarity and sensitivity on this superb trio recording. He is joined by bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Billy Drummond on a programme of jazz and popular standards.
Due to his sporadic career Freddie Redd has kept a low profile for the last several decades. His name, however, stayed in people's memory as the composer for the haunting music that accompanied The Connection (1959), a controversial play written by Jack Gelber, which was released on LP by Blue Note records.
Personnel: Freddie Redd (piano), Jay Anderson (bass), Billy Drummond (drums)
