Description
Guitarist/composer/educator John Hart - often acknowledged for his elegantly shaded phrasing and his clear and fluid sound - came to the fore on this third SteepleChase recording as full-fledged soloist backed by the piano trio consist of his long-time playing-mates. This is his first guitar/piano quartet in 25 years and also features pianist Jim Ridl and bassist Martin Wind, with drummer Tim Horner completing the group.
"Guitarist John Hart, a celebrated sideman who first gained recognition for his work with Jack McDuff, has always had an attractive sound and a creative style that falls within jazz's modern mainstream." - Scott Yanow, DownBeat on 'Checkmate' (SCCD31910)
"Since its inception in 1972, the SteepleChase label of the Dane Nils Winther has been synonymous with exceptional (often illustrious) mainstream jazz. The place of John Hart in its roster is none too surprising. Hart is a guitar player of refinement and taste...Hart's beautifully shaded melodies and detailed and balanced intermezzi of concise and fast cadenzas signify his matured musicianship." - François van de Linde, Jazz Journal on 'Act Three' (SCCD31885)
