Ray Bryant Trio - Ray Bryant Trio '1956 [2014]

Tracks list

Reissue with latest remastering. Comes with liner notes. The first full album
from the great Ray Bryant – recorded shortly after his famous Epic
Records session with Betty Carter! The albums got Ray grooving in a hard early
soul jazz mode – working in a trio with either Kenny Clarke or Osie
Johnson on drums, and Wyatt Reuther on bass – at a level that still shows
some influence from other pianists, but already with that unique hard-left style
that would make Bryant a big favorite in short years to come. Candido joins in
on congas on 2 of the albums best tracks – a hard grooving take on Night
In Tunisia, plus Rays classic Cubano Chant, a dancing Latin groover that went
onto become an oft-recorded Latin Jazz standard – and other titles
include Pawn Ticket, Philadelphia Bound, and Off Shore.
