Butch Thompson, solo piano, set of three original long-box CDs, digitally recorded and mastered in Marblehead, MA in 1989.
Boston Globe review by Scott AlarikFrom the review: “This fluid and easy, clever and brilliant essay on the roots of jazz piano is best defined by the three title cuts, all evocative cityscapes written by jazz pioneer Jelly Roll Morton (1890-1941), arguably the first jazz pianist and certainly Butch Thompson’s strongest influence.....As jazz historian Eric Kriss writes in the liner notes (film-maker and novelist John Sayles also contributes notes), 'He works with the spaces to get at the soul of the song.' As characterized the jazz pioneers he pays tribute to here, Thompson always plays with a loosefingered ease; you will never catch him working hard.”
