Great later work from tenorist
Warne Marsh – recorded in Copenhagen with some very warm backing from the
Kenny Drew Trio! The album's a great reminder that even in familiar territory,
Marsh can still always blow us away – because although the set's mostly standards, they're often colored with those dark edges and blue corners that show up in
Warne's playing, especially in his later years.
Drew's work on the piano is a treat, as always – and his trio features Bo Stief on bass and Aage Tanggaard on drums. Titles include "I Got A Good One For You", "Sophisticated Lady", "On Green Dolphin Street", "Star Eyes", "Ornithology", "Softly As In A Morning Sunrise", and "Little Willie Leaps".
