These trio recordings, made in 1954 and 1955, are the only ones pianist John Williams made as a leader in his entire career. Influenced by Horace Silver, Bud Powell and Hank Jones, Williams is most remembered for his very fine recordings with the Stan Getz Quintet. However, and despite his talent, today he remains a pianist relatively unknown for many people; but those who had the chance to have him as accompanist and all those who enjoyed his stabbing and leanly imaginative playing as a soloist, surely have not forgotten it.

Reviews

Jazz Journal - Alun Morgan

I loved John's playing from the very first time I heard him and now, half a century later, his work still produces that frisson of excitement and happiness. This CD is the epitome of invention, a complete knowledge of correct harmony and a perfect sense of touch.

Jazzwise - Alyn Shipton

Almost the Stan Getz rhythm section of the time, this spotlights the urbane pianist Williams. ***
