Newborn

When the names of the great jazz pianists are bandied about, one name rarely, if ever mentioned, is that of Phineas Newborn, Jr. And that, from the evidence of this disc, is tragedy. Newborn had as much talent and imagination (and when able, mental agility) as anyone this side of Art Tatum. As a matter of fact, a case could be made that the only contemporary of Newborn’s who could be said to be his equal would be Oscar Peterson (who is as widely known as Newborn is neglected). It’s unfortunate that Newborn never had all that many opportunities to showcase his tremendous talent, due to physical and mental problems that precluded his doing much recording. His legacy consists of a mere handful of albums.
