Andy Laverne - Spot On (2024)

When bassist Mike Richmond utters the magic line "Spot on!" at the ending of the recording of track 5 of this album, the album title was decided - you can actually hear it on the disc. This is Andy LaVerne's 36th outing as leader on SteepleChase. Their collaboration goes back to 1977 when he was touring Europe with Stan Getz. Since then he has been presenting uniquely creative albums. This release starts with a homage to McCoy Tyner and ends with one to Chick Corea.
