Teddy Wilson Trio - Revisiting The Goodman Years (Remastered) (2017) [DSD64/Hi-Res]

This album is a studio recording made in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1980. The album presents Teddy Wilson at his best, playing tunes he made immortal in the thirties as pianist with clarinetist Benny Goodman. Teddy Wilson is accompanied by Jesper Lundgaard, a Dane who is one of Europe's top bassists, and the famous drummer Ed Thigpen, who also lives in Denmark. On this album Wilson displays all the delicacy, elegance, taste, finesse and impeccible rhythm sense that has made him one of the best pianists in jazz.

„Teddy Wilson, age 67 at the time of these trio sides, was predictably excellent throughout his long career, never recording a dull or indifferent record. In fact, more than just about any jazz musician, his style remained immune to outside influences ever since the swing era, so do not look for any McCoy Tyner or Bill Evans chord voicings on this LP. Wilson, along with bassist Jesper Lundgaard and drummer Ed Thigpen, plays a dozen songs that he had performed with Benny Goodman during the 1935-38 period. Fun and swinging music.“ (Scott Yanow, AMG)
