(After two sets at Ronnie Scott's)
Cedar Walton is a good jazz composer. He plays composer piano, well-structured solos, everything in its place. He's elegant, tasteful, bluesy and ballsy, all at the same time.
He's in the tradition that comes from a certain set of values, a certain self-restraint, a solid musical foundation and plenty of church-going.
Not to be missed, if possible.
PS: David Williams on bass is truly great, but Willie Jones III is so inexplicably hot and cool at the same time that he almost makes me sick.
