Gorgeous recording from a 1976 studio date in Denmark on the Steeplechase label! It features a trio that is at the top of their game: swingin' Horace Parlan on piano with in the pocket NHOP on bass and an able assist byTony Inzalaco on drums. A finger snapping intro with No Blues, a harmonically lush rendition of My Foolish Heart, and a burning Have You Met Miss Jones start things off nicely. This is a rare treat and one you'll be very happy to add to your collection if you are a jazz lover. I'll avoid commenting about each track and let you the listeners decide for yourselves just suffice it to say that every track is a winner! This review wouldn't be complete; however, without mentioning the superb quality of the recording. I do hope more people will discover it and help it garner more rave reviews, which it surely deserves.
