A great live album that captures the excitement of the 1950s New York jazz scene.
This work, which features a performance at the prestigious club Cafe Bohemia, is a valuable record that realistically conveys the atmosphere of the early days of hard bop.
Known as a pianist and composer, Warrington is known for his lyrical yet propulsive playing, and this album fully showcases his unique style. The thrilling interplay with the horns, the dynamic rhythm section, and the tension that can only be felt in a live performance all combine to create a raw allure that is different from studio recordings.
