Stanley Cowell - Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol.5 '1990

Tracks list

Playing at Maybeck Recital Hall before a small but attentive crowd seems to
bring out the best in many pianists. Stanley Cowell performs a well-planned
program of 14 selections on this 1990 CD. On a two-minute Softly as in a Morning
Sunrise, Cowell runs through all twelve keys. He pays tribute to the
stride-piano tradition on Stompin at the Savoy, explores some bop, Latin-jazz (a
transformed Autumn Leaves) and post bop music, plays Jitterbug Waltz in the
style of Art Tatum, inteprets Stella by Starlight in 5/4 time and performs J.J.
Johnsons Lament with just his left hand. A very interesting recital.
