Walter Norris - Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol.4 (1990)

A harmonically advanced and a consistently explorative player, Walter Norris' rhapsodic improvisations often replace the conventional chords of standards with more complex voicings and sometimes wander unpredictably. His 1990 solo set at Maybeck Recital Hall is a perfect place to begin exploring Walter Norris' music. Highlights include the pianist's "Scrambled" (which is a radical reworking of "I Got Rhythm"), "The Song Is You" and "Body and Soul."
