Notes: Known
for his work on the trumpet as well as the piano Mose has played
with the likes of Stan Getz and Zoot Sims among others as he
has spread his own version of blues inflected jazz across the
land. Sticking to the piano on this outing Mose sings and plays
a few of his own compositions and a nice selection of other
works. For me it is the surprisingly good rendition of "I
Ain't Got Nobody" that drew me to this record. His piano
presence is light and tasty and the blend of the trio sounds
just right…ready to change directions from song to song
as Mose follows his muse. The cover photo just leaves us with
one burning question…did he bring along his own chair
to the bus stop or was it already there? Pretty nifty throne
either way.
