Review by Ken Dryden
One of the more obscure releases by Kenny Barron, this hard to find CD of solo piano is worth seeking. Recorded in a Japanese studio in 1982, Barron's program includes an inspired take of McCoy Tyner's challenging "Passion Dance," a droll version of Thelonious Monk's "Reflections," an enchanting arrangement of Randy Weston's "Little Niles," and a fairly straight-up performance of Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage." Also present are two fine originals by Barron: the haunting "Dolores Street" and the aptly named "Spiral."

Reseña de Ken Dryden
Uno de los lanzamientos más oscuros de Kenny Barron, vale la pena buscar este CD de piano solo difícil de encontrar. Grabado en un estudio japonés en 1982, el programa de Barron incluye una toma inspirada de la desafiante "Passion Dance" de McCoy Tyner, una versión divertida de "Reflections" de Thelonious Monk, un arreglo encantador de "Little Niles" de Randy Weston y una interpretación bastante directa de "Maiden Voyage" de Herbie Hancock."También están presentes dos excelentes originales de Barron: la inquietante "Dolores Street" y la acertadamente llamada "Spiral."
