Ray Bryant • Alone With The Blues

Review:

Ray Bryant's first solo piano album is rightfully considered a classic. Bryant, at the time thought of as a young modern traditionalist, has always felt perfectly at home playing the blues. He performs five original and diverse blues on this set along with "Lover Man" and "Rockin' Chair," showing that he really never needed a bassist or a drummer to sound like a complete band. This Prestige album was reissued in the Original Jazz Classics but thus far only as an LP; highly recommended in any case.

Reseña:

El primer álbum de piano solista de Ray Bryant es considerado un clásico. Bryant, considerado en su momento como un joven tradicionalista moderno, siempre se ha sentido perfectamente en casa tocando el blues. Interpreta cinco blues originales y diversos en este set junto con "Lover Man" y "Rockin' Chair", demostrando que realmente nunca necesitó un bajista o un baterista para sonar como una banda completa. Este álbum Prestige fue reeditado en los Original Jazz Classics pero hasta ahora sólo como un LP; muy recomendado en cualquier caso.
