• George Wallington was the pianist in Dizzy Gillespie's first bop band in 1944 and was closely associated with the progressive jazz movement when this new phase of American music was being nurtured in New York.

• Wallington’s astonishing, fast-moving eloquence as a pianist, contrasted strangely with his introvert, laconic manner as a person. He has too long been taken for granted, but these trio sessions prove he was one of the most incisive and creative of pianists who helped write an important new chapter in jazz.

• George Wallington (p), Curley Russell, Charles Mingus, Oscar Pettiford, Pierre Michelot, Teddy Kotick (b), Charlie Perry, Max Roach, Jean-Louis Viale, Art Taylor, Nick Stabulas (d)

Reviews

Jazz Journal - Andy Hamilton

This is a tremendously enjoyable celebration of an unfairly neglected composer and pianist.
