When I bought the LP around 1972 I was quite surprised by the instrumental mastery of this pianist. Although sometimes bombastic (and it's a little normal when one has such a technique) we must recognize that we had not heard such a virtuoso in the world of jazz piano depuuis long. Moreover it is a virtuoso who became famous because other (I think has Phineas Newborn example) are remains in the dark and even forget. I purchased this CD for my LP is well worn!
