Having followed Larry's career from the SF Bay Area and Monterey in the late 70s, to the Pacific Northwest in the 80s and 90s, and now to the Austin/San Antonio/Dallas area, I'm thrilled to see Larry receiving the positive recognition that this new CD is bringing him.The music is fabulous, with a nice combination of original tunes mixed with classic jazz composers such as Monk, Billy Strayhorn, Bud Powell and Walter Norris. This is a phenomenally talented quartet and they are a pleasure to listen to.The look of the cd is classic Blue Note, with photography by the amazing Allison V. Smith and cover art by Larry's lovely and talented wife, the artist Janet Bruce.I love this CD and I'm grateful I can now listen to Larry every day.
