Phineas Newborn Jr. • A World of Piano!

 

Review by Scott Yanow
Phineas Newborn's Contemporary debut (he would record six albums over a 15-year period for the label) was made just before physical problems began to interrupt his career. This CD reissue has two trio sessions, and finds Newborn joined by either bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones or bassist Sam Jones and drummer Louis Hayes. Actually, the accompaniment is not that significant, for the virtuosic Newborn is essentially the whole show anyway. He performs five jazz standards and three obscurities by jazz composers on this superb recital; highlights include "Cheryl," "Manteca," "Daahoud," and "Oleo." https://www.allmusic.com/album/a-world-of-piano%21-mw0000194058

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El debut de Phineas Newborn con Contemporary (grabaría seis álbumes en un periodo de 15 años para el sello) se realizó justo antes de que los problemas físicos empezaran a interrumpir su carrera. Esta reedición en CD tiene dos sesiones en trío, y encuentra a Newborn acompañado por el bajista Paul Chambers y el batería Philly Joe Jones o por el bajista Sam Jones y el batería Louis Hayes. En realidad, el acompañamiento no es tan significativo, ya que el virtuoso Newborn es esencialmente todo el espectáculo de todos modos. En este magnífico recital interpreta cinco estándares de jazz y tres oscuridades de compositores de jazz; entre las más destacadas figuran «Cheryl», «Manteca», «Daahoud» y «Oleo». https://www.allmusic.com/album/a-world-of-piano%21-mw0000194058
