72年6月のモントルー・ジャズ・フェスティヴァルで繰り広げられた、レイ・ブライアントのソロ・パフォーマンス。その熱演ぶりもさることながら、深みのあるピアノの音色はさすがである。
From Amazon.com
Though he first came to prominence in the 1950s playing with Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Bryant has a stylistic sweep that reaches to piano styles that predate bop, to boogie, stride, barrelhouse and swing. He's an incarnate master of all those moments when jazz and blues have nestled most closely, a determinedly two-handed pianist whose solo performances can rock as steadily as a classic Kansas City big band. Happily, there's nothing of the "recital" about this 1972 performance. Bryant is at his best on blues-inflected songs such as Hoagy Carmichael's "Rockin' Chair," Avery Parrish's "After Hours," and his own funky tunes and spontaneous blues, but he also injects some soul into the folk songs "Greensleeves" and Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Until It's Time for You to Go."
