Jazz Piano 3 Bas Improv

Solidify your approach to jazz piano practice

This three-CD set from the prestigious Mosaic Select label has the Pacific Jazz trio performances led by pianists Russ Freeman, Richard Twardzik, Jimmy Rowles, and Clare Fischer. One of the Rowles' sessions is actually a quartet date with guitarist Al Hendrickson added, but it certainly has the feel of a trio. The first disc has 14 titles featuring Freeman from 1952-1957 and the only seven studio sides led by the ill-fated Twardzik (other than a rehearsal session released elsewhere). The music was originally issued as Russ Freeman/Richard Twardzik, Russ Freeman Trio and Jazz Swings Broadway. Freeman shows that he was the definitive West Coast jazz pianist of the '50s while Twardzik hints at an original style that was never allowed to fully develop. The second disc showcases the sparse and witty style of Jimmy Rowles on its first 11 numbers (mostly from the album Rare But Well Done) while the remainder of the disc and all of CD number three have the music from Clare Fischer's First Time Out and Surging Ahead, some of the rarest material on the three-fer. All in all, this is a highly enjoyable and logical reissue, bringing back some particularly rewarding performances from four underrated pianists.

The Jazz Piano Quartet was a one-off collaboration between renowned pianists Dick Hyman, Roland Hanna, Marian McPartland, and Hank Jones.

The absolute paradise for all jazz piano lovers. I decided to reupload this excellent work of our friend Oceandrop in the quality and artwork extend of his initial upload, adding simply an mp3 version and putting it all in a single post. An amazing collection with 5 booklets full of historical and musical information for the piano jazz from the ragtime till today. Enjoy "a full day" (24 hours) of wonderful piano jazz.

"Oh, welcome." The beard master smiles gently while turning the coffee mill. Yes, I always come to this cafe after work is over. The reason is simple. The coffee is delicious, the master's smile is nice, and it's the background music of "Coffee Break Jazz Piano". When the company is over, I do not want to go home as it is. You need coffee and background music from this cafe to refresh your work fatigue. "Let's bring your boyfriend soon." Master always says so, but I don't need a boyfriend for me now. Yes, with coffee and jazz piano, it is not necessary to have new encounters nearby.
