David Kikoski, the long time pianist of Roy Haynes’ group, is a pianist of the highest level and one of the most respected (and feared) in New York City. His playing is highly modern and driving with a relentless sense of time and swing. In this live date, he introduces the young drummer Obed Calvaire and the bass player from The Chick Corea group, Hans Glawishnig. He offers three originals on this disc, including his evocative “7/4 Ballad” as well as some familiar numbers such as “Billie’s Bounce” and Joe Henderson’s “Inner Urge”.
Recorded on November 18th & 19th, 2008 live at Smalls Jazz Club, Greenwich Village, NYC.
