Artist: Ronnie Mathews Title Of Album: Trip To The Orient [DSD Japan] Year Of Release: 2015 Label (Catalog#): East Wind Music / Universal Japan [UCCJ-9148] Country: USA Genre: Jazz / Hard Bop / Soul Jazz Quality: FLAC (tracks+.cue,log) | Mp3 Bitrate: Lossless | CBR 320 kbps Time: 41:15 Full Size: 365 MB | 172 MB (Scans) One of the greatest sessions ever recorded by Ronnie Mathews – an excellent soul jazz pianist who's working here in a mode that's similar to that of Kenny Barron, Cedar Walton, or other 70s lyrical giants! Mathews' touch on the keys is incredible – at one moment extremely sensitive and pensive, at another racing forward with a searing searching spirituality that's driven on by the bass of Yoshio Suzuki and the drums of Louis Hayes – a great rhythm duo who really help give the record a very special, unique feel. The album features the original compositions "Ichiban", "K's Waltz", and "Jean-Marie" – plus a great version of "Manha Do Carnaval", which features Mathews on Fender Rhodes!
