  • Description

    Classic 1980s SteepleChase recording from Grammy award-winning pianist/composer/arranger Jim McNeely. Featuring Mike Richmond (bass), Kenny Washington (drums) now repressed on standard weight vinyl. This limited pressing is from the original matrices.

    In the summer of 1989 when this album was recorded in sweltering heat of NYC pianist/composer Jim McNeely at the age of 40 had already had an impressive track record of performing with prominent players such as Stan Getz, Bob Brookmeyer, Dave Liebman, the Thad Jones/Mel Louis Orchestra, among others.

    McNeely, now a celebrated veteran himself, has earned ten nominations of the Grammy Awards and worked as conductor/composer/soloist-in-residence with a handful of radio orchestras of European major cities including Copenhagen, Frankfurt, etc., besides leading his own group.

    "This must be one of the finest piano trio albums I've heard, well, since the last by Jim McNeely...His musical sensitivity and sophistication make this album a constant joy." - Andy Hamilton, The Wire
