Larry Willis: This Time The Dream's On Me

Composed by:

The art of solo jazz piano has a long and illustrious history, which actually predates the art form we have come to call 'jazz.' From the earliest ragtime solos of Scott Joplin through to the avant garde jazz ruminations on classical themes of Uri Caine, the list is as extensive as it is star-studded. Larry Willis sits down in the famed Fazioli piano showroom in Italy for his latest HighNote recording which highlights his inexhaustible imagination, the stunning sound of the Fazioli piano and songwriting abilities of the composers represented here. Whether it is Kurt Weill's hauntingly beautiful "My Ship," the pop-tinged "True Love" by Cole Porter or his own compositions, Larry Willis displays the intense creativity and impeccable taste which made him the preferred pianist of greats such as Jackie McLean, Nat Adderley, Paul Murphy, Carmen McRae, Lee Morgan, Woody Shaw and others.
