Description
Veteran pianist Stan Tracey celebrates his 80th birthday this year with a brand new trio recording. With a career that started in the 1940's in wartime big bands, Tracey has been described as "the grand old man of British modernism". He has lived and worked through every rise and fall in British jazz's fortunes over the past 60 years and has contributed more creative music to its successive periods than any other figure, as both composer and performer.
Tracey was primarily influenced by Duke Ellington and has much in common with Thelonious Monk. Compositions by both of these musicians feature on live recording made in November 2005, together with other jazz standards, including "Willow Weep For Me", "Perdido" and "I Can't Get Started".
Personnel: Stan Tracey (piano), Andrew Cleyndert (bass), Clark Tracey (drums)
