I really like this series – both in concept and delivery. The idea is deliciously simple. Take a jazz musician and set him free to improvise an entire performance. Additionally, the performance is stripped to the root by making these performances unaccompanied solos. In this edition we get a pianist who is of an era that blended old school bop with modern free form jazz. The result is compelling and powerful. It’s a great DVD that’s recommended to fans of jazz in general, but particularly to those who really enjoy jazz piano.
