Review: One of the best pianists I have heard. This is the guy that when Count Basie died, Booby Floyd was the man they asked to fill in. He’s also toured with Ray Charles, Doctor John, and many others. This is a stellar CD that really shows off his talent.
If You Like: Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, Wynton Kelly
