I assumed he was a bop pianist, and since I already have all the monk, Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans I need, I did not want to spend money on more of the same. But, I got this album and it is anything but bop! This is lounge at it's finest! (The album cover with the sophisticated models should have given me a hint) But anyway, this is a great double CD. It has Vibes, bongos, and lush,dreamy strings! Anyone into swanky lounge music would love this CD! I believe a few of the cuts made it on the ultra-lounge CD series.
