  • 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

    "Brilliant!" - Jazz Magazine

    "Kenny has a relaxed, attractive style, free from embellishments or dramatic devices, but capable of generating happy swing." - Meloday Maker
